Dipping into this thread (sorry, i haven't read *all* the posts) to
share my own preferences as well as ask a question.
i do my best to configure *all* my email clients to only send in
plain-text -- i use multiple clients (debian GNU/linux on my desktop
and a Samsung Android phone) though it's starting to feel like a bit
of a losing battle.
The thing is, i'm now intentionally subscribed to receive email
correspondence from a bunch of places (Barnes&Noble, CAC.org, Edgar
Cayce's ARE, The Shift Network, and many others) that send HTML email.
On sylpheed, claws-mail and kmail, when the message *doesn't* have a
plaintext fallback duplicate message included (and/or when B&N forgets
to include the "view this message in a browser" simple link), i'm
stuck, sometimes unable to view *any* content in the message (unless i
open up a web-client for the particular service (gmail or gmx.com)
that delivers my email or pull my phone out to view the message there).
On the "guide" at the bottom of what i quoted from the thread above, i
saw that sylpheed was in the second stanza of clients (not the first
that have plaintext sending auto-configured properly). Which is
confusing to me. Can sylpheed really have the ability to compose and
send HTML messages when it won't reliably display them?!?!?!?
Maybe debian bundles in an older version than is current which doesn't
have the functionality i'm looking for? (the ability to display HTML
messages properly when possible).
Version 3.7.0 (Build 1185) is what i'm running (on currently stable
debian (on three different computers)).
thanks much in advance for any insight, and apologies for the
non-postfix related "noise",
~c
