Here's the workaround that I have come up with when I have received HTML mail that I either want to keep, or that I want to reply to:
First, I am using Powermail 4.2.1 in Mac OS 9.0.4, and have no current plans to migrate to OS X. I have WannaBe set as my default browser. This is a lean, text-only browser. When I receive an HTML mail that I want to read, I click on the globe icon. WannaBe launches and displays the message, without images (but with image links). It does display boldface, color and underline. However, choosing 'Save as...' from the file menu saves a plain text file, without any formatting or HTML tags, other than '<IMG>' tags showing where pictures were in the original HTML. If I append a .txt extension to it, and go to reopen it, thru the magic of Internet preferences and the Open via Map extension from Joseph Wankerl, the text opens in my preferred editor. What's more, while within WannaBe, I can highlight any text and drag-and-drop it into an outgoing PowerMail message, where it appears as unformatted text, with no HTML tags :^) WannaBe is freeware, and I understand that it works fine in Classic mode in OS X. Oh - WannaBe also includes a Go menu, from which the user can select from a list of other common web browsers to open the file (or page) for the full HTML experience.
