Jérôme, From what you wrote, I gather that Apple's WebKit occasionally causes crashes and *enabling* Powermail's HTML reader will prevent that from happening. The quote from the manual suggests that *disabling* the HTML reader will prevent crashes caused by Apple's HTML Rendering Library (is this WebKit?). I'm confused. Am I reading one of these wrong?
