That is why I won't, and probably never will, update to the 4.x
versions. There are plenty of other MUAs that display HTML just fine on
Windows. Obviously, they have found a way around this problem. I feel
it is rather discerning that the claws-mail team has not found a
solution, other than to use an inferior HTML engine.
