it is an useful feature to have the html displayed formatted, allows things like image sending, which might be a necessary feature for this to spread
but unfortunately as soon as you unselect the message you were looking at the display changes to unformatted and needs to be changed for seeing it formatted again, which is a barrier to general users

so is there a way to have it format html by default that is acessible to people not compiling their own clients?
ideally at some point this would be accessible through a checkbox in the settings, but for the time being is there a config to edit or something like that?

also, what would be nice for a future release is a image to base64 converter built into the client, that could vastly broaden the userbase for bitmessage

HTML content is purposely not displayed by default unless the user is white-listed, is in your address book, or you are subscribed to them.

It would be better for us to support attachments before we bother building in a base64 encoding mechanism. It would be more data-efficient also.

attachments sound like a good solution, thank you
is there any time frame for that?
