K-9 didn't do that markup, it came that way off imap/pop mail server. All K-9 will/can do in this instance is render the html. [note -- MS's html generators tend to create particularly messy html.] Try creating a text-only message - most mail clients have the ability to generate non-html messages. In K-9 look at: [account] settings - Sending mail - Message Format - select the "Plain Text" button and you'll see the difference in the message body that you capture. If you want "clear text" message bodies you'll have to be prepared to de-html-ize html-only messages with some code that you write/acquire. As I indicated earlier, there are three basic types of message bodies: - text-only - html-only - multi-part -- text and html With the first and last you should be able to capture the text parts (though K-9 doesn't display the text part on multi-part messages so you may have to do some work to capture that part). With the middle type you'll have to clean it up if you don't want the html. Note, there are other types of message body parts -- including base64 encoded and attachments. You may want to do some reading about about message structure to get a better understanding of what might come your way.
