Mail.app needs to continue to be able to display HTML messages that contain quirky markup when linked against a version of WebKit that has the HTML5 parser enabled.

I think it has to be forever if we want to guarantee that new versions of Mail will continue to able to display old messages. Perhaps we don't want to make that guarantee?
