I HATE HTML MAIL MESSAGES!
Grrrr. If Ghu, the great, had meant us to send html email
we'd all be running IE7.

I'm not a fan either. However ...
% grep lynx ~/.mailcap
text/html; lynx -dump %s | sed 's/^ //' ; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html
Problem largely resolved. (`mutt' is the rest of the solution.)

No newlines.
500 characters of setup to send me too.
To find the me too you have to scan through pages of crap.
Half the time the plain text is at the top anyway, so why bother with
the extra crap?

Geez, talk about "old school". I like HTML emails just fine, but even in
Outlook Express I can set it just display text.
What do you use?
