Netscape does let you view those HTML-encoded messages, but you're right
that they are a pain, primarily because they show up in a crabby little
font that is very difficult for me to read.  If I want to read web
pages, I'll visit the web, thank you very much!  :)  Plus, those people
who don't have HTML-aware news/mail readers suffer terribly trying to
read all that junk...
