That horse has long bolted :-(. You can't block them, and you can't set them to not render, because just too many people send messages in that format by default.
I have one client who has a corporate email system that strips css - not all HTML, just css - and it causes all sorts of bother on a day to day level.
HTML not rendering - would be nice. Problem is that so many people expect to be able to forward formatted stuff and have you understand it - for example, the other day I got a mail forwarded via my css-stripping client, with instructions to 'substitute in the red text' - of course, the red had vanished with the css, cue running about and wibbling...
Or people forwarding newsletters "can you do something like that only purple' etc, etc... Or they embed an image inline or even set it as a background rather than attaching it, without knowing the difference, and the image contains some vital detail, and obviously they sent it late on Friday afternoon and expected it to be actioned by Monday...
Thunderbird - I know what you mean. I just cannot find an email client I really like, I've tried a bunch and keep coming back to Eudora, even though development on Eudora is dead as a doornail and I have a horrible feeling that it won't run under Window 7 :-(
