I would tend to agree with you, Brad. However, I work for a
municipality that makes extensive use of HTML based email in its
everyday communications. Our entire operation is cloud-based, so
reading email in other than Outlook is pretty much out of the question.
I can access the server from home, but using claws-mail is not of
much use since it cannot sync with the multiple calendars,
etcetera that I have to deal with. I could live with that limitation if
it could actually properly display my messages. Unfortunately, at least
in the Windows version, the image display is seriously messed up. I use
to have a FreeBSD machine set up with claws-mail; however, after fancy
was removed, it sucked too.

I still use claws-mail for my personal use, but that is about.

By the way, none of the replies to the original email have dealt with
the question of whether the Windows version is still being supported.
If not, then maybe it might be time to look for a replacement MUA.
