My apologies for being stupid(er than usual). I see that Mail indeed
offers "message viewing control" under Preferences>Fonts & Colors
(set it so long ago I forgot where it was), and I am undoubtedly
quite mistaken - memory fails me - that Outlook Express offered
anything more under OS 9. Still:
A bit odd that Mail doesn't directly offer the option to view all
messages as plain text. As far as I can tell.
If Mail (or any installed email client) can disregard and override
font and type size HTML tags, theoretically it must be possible for
it to be instructed to recognize some HTML tags and not recognize
others. Evidently there's no market for such customization options,
as I'd guess most people are as ambivalent as I about overdone HTML
in email and that creators of email applications have no interest in
something that defeats the trend toward snazzier-looking and more
personalized (or more marketing-friendly) email.
