Most mails I receive are from Linux and FreeBSD mailing lists and less of them are HTML formatted, most are plain text. Most private mails I receive from people who aren't geeks, are HTML formatted, less are plain text or RTF. My guess is that HTML is prevalent, but that doesn't mean that it's good. I share incoming mails by Evolution and Claws. I set up claws to only display plain text, but since sometimes important HTML mails are hard to read in plain text, I allow Evolution to display HTML. However, I set up Evolution to _never_ allow to load images from the Internet. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
