[MlMt] Mailmate now supports html signatures

[Steve Mayer]

Dries,

   Make sure that in the MailMate preferences, under Software Updates 
that you have 'Beta Builds' selected in the 'Watch for' item.  Then 
ensure that you hold down the Option key when clicking on the 'Check 
Now' button.  You need to do this to check for beta builds.

Thanks,
