Matthias, why do you have to bring up that old nonsense again? Powermail
displays HTML messages and it's natural to expect that it should print
such messages fine, even if third party software developers wrote that
software (Apple in this case I believe).

All that yay-saying "use something else" could easily KILL PowerMail
some day. To engage in that behaviour is not about being helpful to the
community at all. It's just bitching back, that's all there is to it.
Please just let it go, OK?
 
To not fully support HTML-messages, at least treating them as full
citizens coming in your mailbox, could very well in the long run make
PowerMail obsolete and unusable for anyone using email for their
business or other important relational purposes. Email is not about
being an island, it's about *communicating*. Being incompatible means
you put obstacles in the way of your communication. That's not good.

This is why moving to zip for attachment was such an important move.
While not perfect IMHO for being compatible with some PC users, it's
usually working. If CTM hadn''t given us the possibility to display HTML-
messages I would have had to abandon it, because I get some important
messages that won't display properly  without it.

Winston, please support CTM by patiently ask for requests and engage in
a dialog and try to be little understanding that while CTM are, unlike
many other companies developing email software, charging for it, they do
provide an alternative that have many features others do not. That gap
is closing, yes, and one day CTM will have to make a move, but the call
is theirs. That does not mean you shouldn't express your opinion in a
constructive manner, but please understand that your point will not be
made stronger by just repeating it now and then.
