If the images are remote, it will not fetch them. However, if the
images are with the message, it will display them in the message.

This is true.

Not that I know of. There are ways of working around not having such a
facility conveniently provided. For example one way to edit the source
would be to export the message to text, edit and then import it
afterwards. With a couple filters and PowerPro, a macro utility, I had
these actions reduced to two button presses.

I think Marck may have been referring to writing HTML messages in
source format using the plain text editor. TB! will then send it off
as HTML.

TB! actually does Birthdays.

However, it's not heavy on the PIM functionality. Neither are there
plans for this for the foreseeable future. The scheduler is for
scheduling e-mail related tasks. It can be scheduled to send/check,
create/send messages, open linked documents or messages or start
programs.

Yes. Alerts for the above mentioned tasks can be created and set to
repeat at intervals.

No. :)
