Hey! Mailspring maintainer here—the app doesn't support plaintext emails (at least not out of the box), but it's likely we'll add support in the future.
A lot of the features in the app, like read receipts and link tracking, are targeted at sales and business folks that send a lot of email and care about it being read. You can use the app without using them though! Unlike Nylas Mail, Mailspring implements all mail sync on your computer - your email credentials are not sent to the cloud and things like "unsnoozing" happen on your machine, not on a server. (Note that for many people, this is actually a /bad/ thing - if enough folks complain we might add the cloud sync stuff as an opt-in!)
- e12e 9y ago> the app doesn't support plaintext emails (at least not out of the box) What does that mean - only support gpg/smime encrypted email, or only support the html-part of a multipart message, with no option to edit/send or view the plain/text part? (ie: you can't communicate with any sane mailinglist using this)? [ed: and does it work with text/plain at all - or does it effect not support email, sending empty text/plain parts?]
- vhbit 9y agoafaik atm it doesn't allow to send a plain text email (but it can display them), the only "output" format supported is HTML.
- narsil 9y agoIt's awesome that you've implemented unsnoozing on the client side. That's a major plus and I'm hoping to recommend mailspring to my team after giving it a try.
- gravypod 9y agoPlaintext is a must for many users. So is encryption. I really hope you implement that. If you do I'll switch to this client and I think many others will as well. My spit, bubble gum, and duct tape mess of an email client (Thunderbird with one too many plugins) needs to be replaced.
