I may be naive .... I do not consider html email unsafe to look at in normal/maintained Linux mail client or browser - AS LONG AS I DON'T CLICK ON LINKS. I occasionally use w3m or even better - browsh. I do not do it for security, I use text based browsers for convenience via ssh. I cannot praise enough browsh - it is magic - you should try it. https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh Best, Tomas
