HTML render

[dazWiLLiE]

Hi.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but most of my html mails look like this:

^H^H^H^H^H D�J� VU? ^H^H^H^H^H Dessa klassiska siluetter är väl beprövade. Det betyder 
  att de skänker en retrokänsla till vilken outfit som helst. Äg retrostilen  
  med en nyutgåva av Gazelle ’91 och fler. _^HU_^HP_^HP_^HT_^H�_^H�_^HC_^HK_^H

I'm on arch, and installed html2text-with-utf8 from AUR.

Edit: With python-html2text from Community it looks better (non of the _^H[_^Ha_^Hr_^Hr_ stuff), but with links everywhere. Is that the best it can look?

Hey, the beautiful_html_render script is pretty opinionated and doesn't actually look that great for noisy, complex HTML emails. You could try uncommenting the lynx line in the mailcap file - or use elinks which I think is my favourite for general HTML at the moment:

text/html; elinks %s -dump; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput;

When using either strategies, the content of the email doesn't render despite confirmation of content when checking the raw message. According to the error logs, it states: no text past headers.
