It's not like there is a “correct” conversion to plain text.
Everything that has to do with HTML to text conversion is heuristic in
some way and HTML generated by Outlook certainly does not make it
easier. The conversion from HTML to text is not actually done by
MailMate itself. This is handled by an external script I didn't write
myself. Note that MailMate does strip the weird occurrences of
<o:p> before doing this, because this often triggers issues.
The first thing to examine though is whether or not the message
contains a plain text body part. MailMate always prefers this before
trying to convert HTML to plain text. This is under the assumption
that the email client generating the HTML probably also knows best
what the best representation using plain text would be (unfortunately
this is not always true).
If there's no such plain text part (there really should be, but I'm
not surprised if there isn't) then the problem is that MailMate
doesn't properly “clean up” the plain text after the conversion.
You can forward an example to me using “Message ▸ Forward as
Attachment” and then I might find time to look into that.
I hope that makes it a bit clearer.
Benny,
I’ll send them along. Both have plain text parts with the following
header:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
The plain text has the correct spacing, though interestingly it
doesn’t have the non-breaking space in the html.
(And sorry for not yet answering all the other emails to the list.)
Don’t be! You’re very good at replying, IMO.
PS I left the reply as MM2 made it. You’ll notice that the original
text from me is not double-quoted, even though it should be.
John
