Just my thoughts. Yikes! Although it was no longer supported, I was so happy to stick with Claris Emailer for so long BECAUSE it didn't display HTML. When I bought my new PowerBook in February, I decided to switch my email clients even though Emailer still worked from Classic. There were just too many choices of email clients not to switch, or at least look at what others were offering since I was already learning a new OS and adjusting to being a PowerBook user after all my previous Macs were desktop. I bought PowerMail in February but didn't start using it until just last month and am glad I switched to it from Mail because it doesn't display HTML. I didn't think I'd like it much because it lacked the built-in spam filtering that Mail has, but I never got the spam filter in Mail to work which frustrated me to no end since that was my main reason for trying to stick with it. PowerMail just has other features that I like more and I'm diligent about creating filters to trash unwanted spam. I don't want to have my email client bogged down with downloading a ton of images and getting blasted with some porn stuff. It's too embarrassing to try to check my email with someone seeing all the spam that blinks and displays while I'm trying to quickly delete the message. It's bad enough that I have to get spam so frequently, but I don't want the content shoved in my face. The spammers keep finding ways to get around rules/ filters and appear as an innocent email, but when the subject or sender doesn't immediately send off red flags, the HTML that leaps out is something that I'm happy to avoid as much as possible. The only HTML feature that I would like is the ability to search the text of HTML for keywords that the filters don't catch and upon first glance, the email looks legitimate. I don't know how possible it would be to filter the HTML content without displaying the HTML, or downloading the images, but it would sure make spam filtering much easier.
