12 Claws has a plugin named "fancy" that handles HTML. At present, this is
13 disabled by Gentoo due to the fact that the HTML rendering engine
14 (webkit-gtk for Gtk2) has more holes than Swiss cheese. The Gentoo dev's
15 are waiting on the Gtk3 version of Claws so that a newer HTML engine can
16 be used. Until then, it's plain text only.
