I use Most to browse e-mails & Gvim to edit replies.
If there's a link to goto an HTML version,
I R-click on the URL & choose to open it in Firefox.
If there's no link, but it's presented as HTML,
I copy-paste the URL to Firefox & open it similarly.

Mutt is so good, I'm willing to take this slight detour
rather than wade thro' the mud of a GUI client.

I use mail-client/claws-mail, with the dillo plugin to view the
occasional HTML only email. It apparently also has a webkit plugin, in
case you get “extra fancy” mails.

claws-mail is pretty lightweight, very configurable, can spawn an
external editor to write emails but can't send HTML emails itself AFAIK.

Kind regards, tastytea

Another vote for Claws here, although i use the liteHTML plugin, which
seems to handle more than Dillo, but without the overhead of webkit.

It can also open HTML emails in your preferred browser.

You can specify a program to use on attachments. But this doesn't
work where the email itself is HTML.

Does Claws work with Maildir directories?

Yes, it can talk SMTP on whatever port you want and you can configure
the sending server individually from the receiving server.

I startet migrating from Thunderbird to Mutt a year or two ago and it
took me a lot of searching through the interwebs re HTML.
Now I use www-client/w3m to represent HTML inline, anything fancy I open in
my main-browser. The mail is saved in a temporary directory. Pressing
'v', highlighting the 'text/html'-line an pressing 'm' does the trick.

From my .mutt/mailcap:
text/html; mkdir -p /tmp/mutt \; cp %s /tmp/mutt \; librewolf /tmp/mutt/$(basename %s) &;

text/html; w3m -I %{charset} -T text/html; copiousoutput;


Kind regards,
Carsten
