I think a third viewing option would fit the bill:
1. view plain text portion
2. view HTML portion
3. view HTML portion scrubbed to plain text
#s 1 and 2 are business as usual.
#3 is HTML part minus tags. Links reduced to PowerMail's usual angle-
bracketed plain text style.
It would likely be a mess, so if it's that bad send it off to a web
browser. Hopefully progressing HTML practices will lead to better
structured HTML documents that degrade gracefully (vs. chopping it up
with table layouts).
#s 2 and 3 under "HTML reader" in the prefs:
[] Enable HTML reader
[] Prefer Scrubbed HTML over HTML
[] Prefer HTML when plain text is also available
[] Download external pictures of connected,
for non-spam messages (yada, yada)
And of course, an entry in the pop-up menu at the bottom to switch
between the three views.
Friends (sic), family, co-workers all get their HTML mail via the client
of their choice. PowerMail users can send back plain text replies.
PowerMail users with a grudge against HTML mail can send back plain text
with maniacal glee.
Would this really take more than some regex? If not, what's the
development roadblock?
