Hi,

Any suggestions for showing HTML e-mails on webpages so that they don't interfere with the rest of the page layout?

How do I sandbox the display so that HTML e-mails that contain faulty tables, or absolute positioning of CSS layers doesn't ruin the way my site look.

Am I left to just filtering out any code I think might be harmful to my look and feel?

Using iframes is not an option.

nope
iframes were developed by microsoft during html 3.0, unlike the toher microsoft add ons, iframes was found useful enough that it was adpted by the w3c, thus becoming a standard. in html 4 and up it's there. mozilla, opera, pretty much anything but netscape 4.x that's in use will handle it.
