Like most emails send nowadays use HTML but still include a text/plain part. Here's a live example from my INBOX: https://svkt.org/~simias/mail-hp.png https://svkt.org/~simias/mail-hp.png Notice that this is from HP, not some small shop. Nowadays people expect you to be able to parse HTML emails and don't bother to have it work in plain text (I'd actually prefer if they got rid of the text/plain in this situation, this way mutt would know to display the HTML instead). If AMP becomes popular enough and gets integrated by the big players I have no doubt that we'll see the same thing. Then it means you won't be able to process email in any significant way without a full blown Web engine (probably including JS). First they ported everything to the web, now they're porting the web to everything else. I don't want the web. The web is bloated crap. Stop it. Please. Stop it.
