I  have  been  doubleclicking  browser  icon in "un-readable" html for 2
decades.  Why  duplicate the effort of the browser in an email client? I
never  had  a problem explaining  this to my clients. Almost all of them
since  1998  have  appreciated  the  merits  of  The  Bat! handling html
messages.  I use Maildroid on all my Android devices because it emulates
The Bat! behavior.

  Agreed!

Lowering the stakes, how about a stable build just without the Chromium?
