Nope, it's a major step DOWN, because browsers are the lamest mail
clients around.
When they come out with a browser with multiple email folders,
automatic email filtering rules, automatic download so you actually
do your reading offline, and all the stuff that is standard in
non-browser email clients for Windows, then maybe I'll be interested.
Basically: there are a wide variety of very usable email clients that
don't support HTML. There are, at present no usable email clients
that do. I won't sacrifice usability for HTML.
