The WSSP interface always provide the plain text version of the original =

message to the webskin.

You can modify the Compose page so the Send HTML checkbox is ticked by=20
default, but this will not alter the original message text. The webskin=20
must be able to perform some modifications on that original text so it=20
becomes proper HTML, and it must also have an HTML-compatible message=20
body editor.

As stated in my other reply, LookOut can do that. But it can't get the=20
HTML version of the original message.
