 I'm a bit confused... What would you like? To not see HTML/RTF at all?
Then this is already possible. Or to see them by translating them to text
somehow? This is not possible but I don't really know why would you want it
neither as any client (OE included) should send multipart/alternative
messages including both HTML/RTF and plain text anyhow.

EV> 1 - My home e-mail server is set up to run IMAP across TLS.

 No, TLS means to use SSL over normal IMAP connection with help of the
STARTTLS command. 993 is for imaps and this is what Mahogany calls "Use SSL
only". BTW, imaps is deprecated and the imap + STARTTLS is preferred.

 I think there is a confusion due to unfortunate choice of words in
Mahogany interface. TLS here really means STARTTLS and not TLS 1 as opposed
to SSL 2/3.

EV> Report #632 (which was IMAP/SSL) in that when I select "Use TLS

 This is correct. "Use TLS only" means to connect to the port 143 and issue
STARTTLS IMAP command if the server supports it, otherwise fail (this is
the difference with the default which would still use STARTTLS if the
server supports it but fail to unsecure connection otherwise).

 Mahogany should handle both... What is your server?

 Yes, it's broken :-( Unfortunately the person who has written the code
seem to have disappeared and I don't really know how it works. Will try to
look. Please enter a bug (if it isn't there already) describing how to
reproduce this behaviour as precisely as possible. TIA!

 Please enter this as a bug (after checking it's not there already...) as
well.

 Thanks,
