Hi

Ok, I'm prepared to accept that. It's a minor point - very few people
send RTF mails anyway (thank god!)

I don't consider displaying ASCII text mails as HTML as misusing it -
use of the "<pre>" tag ensures that the HTML renderer lays the text
out as it would be layed out by a normal text widget.

That's not really relevant - no-one sends mails as DocBook.

I was merely trying to point out that having to wait while modules
load for doing something as simple as displaying the contents of an
email is irritating from a user's (specifically me) point of view and
that my mail client doesn't. That's just my opinion.
