Is there any? Not Mozilla, not Netscape, not Konqueror, not Opera...

for me, it MUST ;) This is definitely a question of taste! In Mails, strictly
no frames, no tables and most importantly NO IMAGES. Have you ever been in a
bureau working with customers and your mail program popped up a SEX
commercial SPAM? Just accept that there are people who just do not want it.

Has HTML any problems? _I_, as I said, talked about the USAGE of HTML, and
that IS a problem.

No, but as you should know, not all editors write proper HTML and writing
proper ASCII is definitely easier ;)
To repeat it, the problems stated are not Problems with HTML, but with the
_usage_ of HTML in E-Mails. This includes users and all of their stupid ideas
and programmers and their stupid ideas.
