Ask HN: Is there an email service that allows plaintext and respects my privacy?
Plaintext as in non-HTML.
I've been searching to no avail. Tutanota and protonmail do not support it, and I don't want to use Gmail.
I'd prefer it be free.

- ParameterOne 10y agooutlook.live.com has a plain text setting / bottom arrow on new/compose page
- Alir3z4 10y agoPrivacy there are some, plaintext-only. I don't know. You may just host a email-server yourself if you want to get what you're looking for.
- pyvek 10y agoI'm curious why you don't want to use HTML.
- greglindahl 10y agoTracking is one reason. Every time I get an email saying "We noticed that you haven't been opening our emails", it makes me smile.
- brongondwana 10y agoFastMail also has an option to filter out tracking links from HTML emails (from everybody, or just from unknown senders), while still giving the ability to see pretty HTML formatting if you want it.
- sidep 10y agoI wrote one. It's a side project, and dear to me, and private but you can use it if you'd like. Email in my profile.
- guillaume8375 10y agoI would recommand Fastmail (fastmail.com). Not free, but they respect your privacy and there are options to compose and read email in plaintext.
