More and more e-mail is in html format. Hardcore PowerMail users say they don't want to be bothered with this mail, that most of it is spam anyway, but that's not true in my community. When html mail arrives, PowerMail wants you to make a choice... open your web browser to read it, download

The last time I looked at it, you couldn't just mix in your replies to parts of a the received HTML mail. I'm no big fan of HTML mails either, but there ARE occasions where it's nice to have the formatting preserved. Am 15.06.2008 um 17:11 schrieb Michael J. Hußmann: Tim Lapin ([EMAIL
