-- You mean Insight should have a "View message(s) as plain-text" option?
I, too, would like that feature for sub-100MHz PCs. I use ViewHTML for
large digests that I'm unlikely to edit as it wraps overlong lines;
highlights URLs (if they have anchors: <a href=URL>description</a>); and
it's not slow.
<Language police alert> But, I'd like Insight to present messages as
plain-text and then perform further rendering on the message body if I
want clickable URLs.
