If the html does not use Javascript, you can save the email to a file (x) and then run the command 'lynx -dump X > X.text'. Then view the file X.text with vim or some other editor. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In Thunderbird, you should be able to select "View > Message Body As > Original HTML" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You have to tell Tbird to read the HTML, I think that it is off by default. I don't even bother to turn it on, if I get an HTML mail I either delete it or ask the sender to send again in plain text.

You can't say that for an RMA (Returned Materials Authorisation), because it is in customer interest to read whole email. Sender (a company) will be happy that you can't return merchandise because you can't read instructions in html part. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did not relate to the fact that this was an RMA, but rather spoke of email in general. Naturally, one must exercize discretion instead of blindly rejecting all HTML email. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü

Hi Dotan.... I think that Linksys that sended me the mail don't care what i write to them. But it's a pity to send such mails. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thunderbird can read html perfectly, unless you tell it not to. Maybe you have to change some settings. Or maybe the email contains javascript; have a look at the email in "view source" mode to learn more. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Look to see if KMail has that functioned turned off, so set that only if the sender is in the address book, will it display HTML e-mail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Many thanks to all that has helped me. I solved the problem by importing the mail from Thunderbird to Kmail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
