Agreed. :)

And since we have no control on what others use, for html emails claws
strips all html and shows them as plain text. But if you wish there is
also an html email viewer plugin which lets you see the original
properly rendered within claws. Also features like the ability to hand
pick the mime type of attachments makes it what I previously worded as
"almost perfect". :)
