Yes, PowerMail has some limitations when displaying complex messages,
which contain mixed HTML and plain text parts, or multiple HTML parts.
These limitations are not easy to fix: this would require modifying how
messages are saved in PowerMail's database, and combining multiple parts
in a single HTML view can produce unexpected results, depending on how
the HTML parts are designed. We chose to handle these messages as if the
HTML parts were attachments, so you can display them individually in the
web browser. Also, although these messages are valid regarding the MIME
standard, it is normally the job of the sending email client to format
complex messages in a unique HTML part, rather than the receiving email
client to handle multiple HTML or HTML+text parts.
