I have been using an applescript that changes the incoming messages to whatever is on the clipboard. It isn't perfect, but it works. To use it, copy something to the clipboard first, then run this script from the PowerMail script menu to replace the entire text email message with the clipboard

(Yes, I could fix it with an AppleScript, but CTM can fix it better. :)) It's interesting because I started working on a script last night and found that trying to use the content of the message got very messy pretty quickly. However, using the source (which is HTML) of the message was much
