RIM Pulling HTML Email Support in BES 4.1 SP5: Fact or Fiction?Over the past 24 hours or so, rumors have been roaring back and forth all over the web that HTML email may indeed be removed from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 SP5.

Now, let me say first off that I have no way of confirming or denying this... Everything I've heard and read is strictly rumor at this point. The rumor was propelled into the mainstream by our good friend Jibi posting over at BoyGeniusReport.
