Description

It would be nice if mail could show html formated emails.

I searched trac but couldn't find an existing ticket.

I would strongly support this feature request. We can discuss and question the usefulness of HTML, the dangers, bloat, etc., but HTML is widely used in newsletters, blog posts and the like, and reading the text version of these feels quite archaic.

To be fair, you can simply click on the HTML attachment usually included at the bottom of an HTML mail message, but this is a bit cumbersome to use and average users won't necessarily do this.

Since WebPositive is now able to render a lot of web sites quite well and is a native application, we could just add a WebPositive replicant inside the mail window and be done, showing off another of Haiku's cool special features.

This should be configurable though, maybe even on a sender and account basis.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
