From the PowerMail Manual: >HTML Reader > >PowerMail can display HTML messages using Apple's HTMLRendering library. >This library does not display correctly certain HTML messages, and can >hang or crash PowerMail, so you might want to disable the HTML reader, or >to enable it only for messages that don't contain a plain text version of >the HTML data. Also, you can disable the download of external pictures in >HTML messages: they may be slow to download, and when you receive spam, >they can be used to inform the spammer that you have read the message. > >Note that you can click the button with a globe icon, at the bottom of an >HTML message, to display it in your web browser. You can also press the >button to reveal a popup menu that let you switch between the plain text >or the HTML version, and download the external images manually In my experience it is certain spam messages with incorrect HTML that hangs up PowerMail and I find it easier to keep HTML turned off. -- Barbara Needham
