And yet, many people use it for years with no problems whatsoever. Me,

on just one program, when in fact, many users have no clue about
protecting their computers, so OE or not, they're going to experience
problems.

If you're happy, I'm happy. I'd just like to make one point, though.
The internet is the main source of malware these days. It would only
seem prudent that programs that interface with the internet, email
clients and browsers say, should be as secure as possible. Adding HTML
capabilities to an email client just seems stupid to me. Does anyone
besides spammers use HTML email?


Does that depend on how you define HTML email? For instance, I get email
from Barnes & Noble, with pictures, and various parts of the pictures
contain links to different web pages. Is that HTML mail? If so, there are
plenty of non-spam uses for it.
