HTML email in practice doesn't need much more than what w3m supports, in some places less - no need for w3m's frame, cookie, or FTP support. w3m is smaller than mutt.
Limiting HTML mail to an agreed subset could actually be a winnable fight compared to more impractical suggestions.
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoAs someone who uses w3m to read HTML emails sometimes, it's very hit and miss. Perhaps 50% of emails are easily readable in w3m, on a good day.
- yyyk 7y agoLet's say 50% (or even 30%). How much more code would have been needed to correctly render most of the rest? I strongly doubt it's 200 MiB, probably much closer to w3m's size. HTML email is in practice a large subst of HTML4+a tiny bit of CSS.
