On a related note, any email that’s “pure HTML” or mostly HTML is something I don’t even open, mainly because such emails tend to be of the marketing and tracking kind, where viewing it would send various signals to the sender. If anyone has something important for me to read, they better put it in plain text.
- hjek 9y agoExactly. HTML email is a privacy hell[0]. However, many email clients can work around this, e.g. in Mutt you can let Lynx do a plaintext dump of the HTML email. Also, the whole issue of JavaScript in HTML emails at least deserves a mention[1]. Since Ivelope is an Electron app, I'd guess it would go ahead and just run everything it receives, right?

- jacquesm 9y agoAre there still email clients that run Javascript? I though that idea had been properly murdered a while ago.
