It apparently also has a webkit plugin, in case you get “extra fancy” mails. claws-mail is pretty lightweight, very configurable, can spawn an external editor to write emails but can't send HTML emails itself AFAIK.

I use Most to browse e-mails & Gvim to edit replies. If there's a link to goto an HTML version, I R-click on the URL & choose to open it in Firefox. If there's no link, but it's presented as HTML, I copy-paste the URL to Firefox & open it similarly. Mutt is so good, I'm willing to take this slight detour rather than wade thro' the mud of a GUI client. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

Any suggestions for an MUA that can spit out rmail to port 25? Can't mutt open an html message or attachment in a browser?
[gentoo-user] Looking for simple GUI MUA that works with ssmtp
mutt has served me well over the years, but thanks to *BRAINDEAD CORPORATE IDIOTS* I need a GUI client to parse 100 K of HTML that replaces 1 page of text. These aren't just plain spammers, but businesses that I deal with regularly. It seems that plaintext email is going the way of cursive writing. Any suggestions for an MUA that can spit out rmail to port 25? -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
