OK, I am one of those ancient fossils who hates html email, which is the spawn of Satan and his evil minions. It is distracting, a path for viruses to attack fragile html viewers, incompatable with some ssh tunnels, and included files like graphics break privacy when they are uploaded.
In order to read html email with fewer risks, I use w3m, which is included in SL5 and earlier distros. w3m presents the html as formatted ascii text. It can be made to download graphics and other inclusions, but I leave that nonsense turned off. I had forgotten how to configure it when I upgraded my mail server from Redhat-Prehistoric to SL5. For those of you who have also forgotten, you edit /etc/mailcap: ### text/html; /usr/bin/htmlview %s ; copiousoutput text/html; /usr/bin/w3m -T text/html %s ; copiousoutput Now html email shows up as text in your text email browser (I use mutt, but this probably also works in elm and pine).
