I hate SPAM as much as the next guy, but I actually subscribe to a rewards program, and a few other sites that send HTML mail I actually want. While again, it's not a crisis to have to click another link to view it, it's certainly an inconvenience. Actually, I don't even need to see the inline content in all cases, but I just hate seeing place markers, exclamation points, etc. > I would never activate it, but the email cleint should also not nanny > those who wish to live on the dangerous side of the internet. That's pretty much my point, but keep in mind that in my case, I've already verified the origin of this e-mail with PopTray, and it's e-mail I'm expecting. Naturally, there are risks to those who aren't so sure of the potential content, but that's why I'd favor implementing the functionality as an option, and not the default.

I see it as an AM vs FM or Mono vs Stereo type thing. I don't *need* stereo to hear the content of a radio program, but there are cases when it's a richer experience. Likewise, I think e-mail messages sent with conservative use of bold text, underscores, italics, etc are sometimes just plain "nicer", though they don't affect the words themselves in the least. > I don't write emails with my browser and would never want to.

I like to "put my hand down and come up with e-mail", so to speak. Though "ugly" at the moment, Opera has done a terrific job of integrating e-mail and the related folders into the browser. > Because there is a new-feature-a-day on the beta list. <g> Is that another list, or will beta info be distributed via this list?
