I didn't get it... I can understand people who have a concerns reading HTML mails. If a client is programmed wrong or sloppy, this can lead to problems, especially with trackers and the like. If the displaying client is set up correctly, displaying HTML mails is no problem either. Tracker, images, CSS, JavaScript, HTML buffer overflows and the like should be filtered out correctly. A certain residual risk remains, of course, but this also applies to pure text mails. That makes K9 actually quite good so far. HTML mails are displayed quite reasonably, without any great problems. If you don't want HTML at all, the display switches to plain text and such mails are shown as plain text (if they also have a text part).
But that's not the point here, because viewing is a completely different topic, it's more about creating HTML mails or mails with HTML signature. In principle therefore formatted mails. Here alone the client has the power to generate the mails in such a way that they have no harmful contents. It is not required to work with CSS effects or to create sophisticated layouts. It's rather about enabling simple formatting, like bold, italic, underline, enumerations, etc. Am Donnerstag, 16.
