Yes, both 1.10 and 2.0BETA has the ability to embed the original HTML 
when needed. This is very similar to what other email clients do except 
for the fact that you cannot edit the HTML. If you try then MailMate 
tells you that it'll convert it to plain text first.

It's very tricky (for all email clients) to embed HTML, because HTML 
wasn't designed for this purpose. MailMate uses an external CSS inliner 
(Premailer) to work around most of these problems, but as previously 
discussed on this list then this can be slow at times.

(The problem of embedding HTML is even bigger for webmail clients.)
