   I just dove into the "common preferences" to find some exact stuff to post.   
      
   It turns out you're right, and I got hoodwinked : I got a "welcome" message   
   which turned out to be an image.  Hence my conclusion that I must be looking   
   at an HTML message.Trying to find HTML/text settings under the "compose" tab   
   I could not find any.   Hence my conclusion HTML was all it seemed to   
   support.   
      
   But I was too quick in my conclusion : The "display" tab has got a few   
   settings how to handle an incoming message.  One of the settings was to   
   display an attached image - which is most likely what that "welcome" message   
   was : an empty message with just an attached image.   
      
   IOW, I can only send text messages (fine by me :-) ) but I have a few   
   choices what to do with attachments and HTML messages (like turn them into   
   text).   
      
      
   Infuriatingly enough the "welkcome" message seems sto have self-deleted, so   
   I can't give you a sample of it.   
      
   > It doesn't support HTML at all.   
      
   As in the above, it does.  But not while composing/sending.
