I too hate receiving html / enriched text. I WOULD very much like to
be able to edit incoming messages however, as well as flag them
according to their importance on at at least a 1-5 scale. The message
color coding Alex mentioned earlier is another simple option that
makes sense to me.
As for editing messages for my own reference, that ability to
UNDERLINE or otherwise highlight importance passages would help
greatly. I don't think this need be a complicated option and is
certainly not a luxury, but rather basic to using email and following
up on whatever needs it.
If the correct keyboard combination for making words upper case is
ever discovered (and posted) for all standard (i.e. Latin American
Spanish) keyboards, that might do it if it's functionality was
extended to all selected text, and not just just word for word as is.

Right. Netmanage's Z-Mail + Forum and PMMail + PMINews are good
examples of that, although the first dropped it's Windows line of
these. (Their browser - websurfer, is at *least* as fast as Opera
though). Netscape of course is a different story.
This would also be more profitable for Ritlabs. But they should first
finish what they started and get TB v.2 out there with a much better
integration and accessibility of TB's features. Filters need to be
activate-able on a one by one and folder by folder or global basis,
and an offline / online button would save a long of accounts /
properties / options changing every damn one goees on or off line with
TB open. The option to start off line is needed too.
