[Users] HTML rendering problems

[Peter Richards]

Hi,

I'm still having problems in Claws where the emails are html only, no
text.  Can I use a plugin like either "Dillo HTML Viewer" or "Fancy" ?
Will that affect other html/text emails ? I guess it shouldn't, as the
inference is "HTML-only messages".

Regards,

Peter
