Opening HTML mail in a browser is risky due to all the scripting possibilities ... Thunderbird's HTML component allows no scripting and disables loading (remote) images (tracking when I hope the mail) how do you deal with that in such a setup? (Actually use evolution, but would like to switch to something smaller ...)

  I have the "Message Body As" setting set to plain text. This either will display the text/plain part of the message or will render the HTML using plain text markers (* * for bold, / / for italics, _ _ for underscore). IME, it works out rather well for most HTML emails I receive.

    In which email client? I regularly get email that is almost impossible to read, unless I load remote images.

      In Thunderbird. Most of the HTML email I receive is mostly formatted text which Thunderbird's plain text view works well on. Are the problems you're describing due to content within the images themselves, or due to placement of the text relative to the image?

I've banished myself to mobile. I am trying out k9-mail and open keychain on Android. They are both available on f-droid and seem to work well. Open keychain is so much easier to deal with than what I remember of enigmail on the desktop.

  OpenKeychain is currently the best way to manage PGP keys on any platform. I don't know why there's no good UI for the desktop, Enigmail is a distant second.

      I mean it's the best of any GUI on any platform. It's Android-only, yes.

  > I am trying out k9-mail K9mail doesn't nest reply threads[1] which is must have feature for me. Otherwise yes k9mail is good. [1] https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/763 https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/763
