FWIW, I just switched to claws-mail (akonadified kmail2 not being my |
| 8 |
thing!). I've been /very/ happy with its "strip HTML" mode, which strips |
| 9 |
out all the tags and just shows the text. With a few white-listed |
| 10 |
exceptions, all HTML /mail/ ends up in the trash, but I use a different |
| 11 |
instance of it (by setting $HOME and $TMPDIR in a wrapper script so it |
| 12 |
doesn't conflict with my mail instance) with the feed-plugin for my RSS/ |
| 13 |
ATOM feeds, which of course are XML, and it strips all that junk out very |
| 14 |
nicely, leaving attachements as just that, attachments. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So there's a very nice third way between having to read the raw HTML and |
| 17 |
actually parsing and displaying it, complete with potential |
| 18 |
vulnerabilities, etc, for those willing to use clients that enable this |
| 19 |
third way. =:^) |

(But I'm still using pan for news/nntp, including my list feeds thru |
| 22 |
gmane, and it simply gives me the ugly raw html, so it's not like I've |
| 23 |
lost track entirely of what it feels like.) |
