A web page, for my own use only. I don't send HTML email. No, it's off the original topic a bit, but that looks unlikely to have a satisfactory answer. I'd be horrified at the idea of a new, full HTML/JS renderer being embedded in an email client. It takes years to work the worst of the security bugs out of a purpose-built web browser, which is one of the most complex pieces of everyday software around. -- Joe
