   The read as text should use the text body of the message if one was =
provided.  My posts, for example, include both a text and HTML body.  =
Some messages could have HTML only as this is legal.  In this case the =
text message must be derived from the HTML.  How well that works depends =
on the HTML and how tricky it is.

  No, I don't prefer HTML, I use the Read as text, but the =
implementation is
  faulty, some emails don't display at all, so you have to turn that =
feature
  off, so you are then vulnerable to web bugs and other HTML nasties.

  OE is just showing the plain text portion of HTML emails when, in =
fact, it
  should be stripping out the text from the html portion if no text =
portion
  exists.  Also link get royally screwed up...

     George, this should interest you.

     The most recent release of Hotmail blocks images, both external and =
MHTML
  packaged, in messages by default.  If any are blocked there is a link =
to
