I love mutt and tin (Network News, google it youngsters), and I persisted in sending plain text email for many years, even signed it with pgp. I snickered many times over the years as people got hacked by their own email clients. I sent back 'Meeting Invite' emails to people who couldn't draft a proper meeting request using words.
But ultimately when gmail came along I realised there was a better way. It is only a problem that we give up our privacy and agency by using Google's software and computers. And nobody was checking my PGP signatures anyway.
If you feel like you want to get the benefits of a nice email GUI, in a sandboxed browser, but also want privacy and some control, check out Mailpile:

It isn't finished, but it is promising.
