I read mail over an ssh connection to a Unix shell. I have no easy way to read html email with a graphics browser. I occasionally get html email that I want to read. I save it in a file and read it with lynx, which so far works perfectly well. I find html email to be a PITA and as someone else said, html in email is an almost sure sign that it's a message that I want to trash without reading it. But for the rare exceptions, lynx as far as I know is 100% w3 standards compliant, and it's plain text (and it works on terminals with no font control) . So there's no incompatibility between html and pure text-based display. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
