Could you please have a close look at the settings and disable HTML mail

AFAIK the bootloader is only resident during the initial bootup, and is
normally gone by the time userland kicks in.  (Think about it -- what's

If you've got at least 8MB RAM you should be okay.  (And lets face it --
Linux on 4MB *IS NOT PRETTY* -- Been there, done that)  How much RAM are
you working with?
