Or, I wasn't accurate enough describing the case, or you misunderstood me.
I'm talking about an html message with inline graphics, not a message with
links to graphics on a remote server. If you "click on the 'html icon' on
the left side attachment list" in such a case, besides the text, you get
nothing but little "red crosses".

If you receive a message in which "inline" and "remote" graphics (or text)
are combined, you won't be able to see the "total" correct message in TB!.

It's not often that one receives such a message, but it happens, and those
can be "genuine" (I mean written/sent without "evil" intentions) messages.

Some people seem to specialise in such a "style"...

Never came up ... but I would have the same problem if I wanted to
save any 'web page' as a pdf.  I suppose I would just open up Open
Office, paste the doc in there and save it 

And I should point out that saving in PDF format is not typically
something one thinks of as an integral part of an HTML editor ... at
least it isn't a feature that I worry about.  If I am working with
HTML, I want a web page out of it not a PDF.  I would use a publisher
type package for that.

Maybe I am just too much of a dinosaur from decades of using Unix and
Linux  I like software to be really good at one thing and not
bloated up, slowed down and obscured with a ton of features that more
properly belongs in some other program.

That's exactly the same, i do, if i get such Mails (which i _want_ to
read...).

But they want it _inside_ The_Bat! - maybe even as an
Internet-Explorer Plugin - whicht probably is the easiest Way, because
the Control APIs are already here for Plugin-Support.

Maybe i was misunderstood, i don't either need this, but if so - i'd

Now, do that with an html-message in which the graphics are sent along with
the message.

Does it look as intended by the sender?

What if, f.i., you wanted to make a pdf of such a message?

AFAIK version 4.0 will be able to download images to HTML messages.

For next version in 4.x serie, HTML templates are planned.

That's exactly what I don't want.
If TB is able to read and write in HTML mode, it should be
able to do that itself, without relaying on some browser.

If the HTML options weren't in TB and weren't developed
further, I were already away from TB.
So, if, as told, HTML will becvome much better in version 4,
I'll be very happy with it.

RSS as a plug in for TheBat would be most helpful.  While stand alone
