mutt.
The traditional whine: "But everybody uses HTML!"
The solution:
in .mailcap:
text/html; lynx -dump %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html
In .muttrc:
auto_view text/html application/x-gunzip text/calendar
alternative_order text/plain text text/html application/postscript
mutt can be used as a pure IMAP client or to read local mail delivered to mboxes or maildirs.
If you are the sort of person who builds up 250,000 messages on your IMAP server, guess what: mutt handles it better than any other client.
mutt is not point and click. mutt is usable by people who can read, and is powerful for people who can spend twenty minutes reading the docs.
- throwaway8879 8y agoI just switched over to neomutt a while back, after years of Thunderbird and evolution before that. I don't know why I didn't switch earlier. It's beautiful.
- cyphar 8y agoI also switched to mutt a few years ago, as part of a switch away from gmail (which I no longer use). HTML email is actually a much smaller problem than I initially expected (and in the rare cases it's a problem you can always pipe it to lynx).
