mutt doesn't show the plain text, either. draw your conclusions ...

anyway, i've given up the fight against html mail (and ToFu and broken
threads). with increasing participation from corporate and non-technical
people, this battle simply cannot be won (until somebody nukes the
eastern suburbs of seattle). now i'm pondering how to make my mail
filter intelligent enough to restore thread structure and quoting and
improve formatting (lynx -dump does not qualify ...).
