No. I have one. It deals fine with any combination of:

text/plain
multipart/alternative containing text/plain and text/html
multipart/mixed containing any combination of text/plain, text/html,
text/richtext, etc.

What it doesn't do is take a mail containing only a text/html component
with no text/plain alternative and magically pass it through an
HTML->plaintext converter. It isn't meant to. If he had *sent* a
text/plain translation, my client (mutt-ng) would have displayed it. All
he sent was text/html with no alternative. That is what I am
complaining, somewhat anally I'm sure, about.

Mutt does the job fine. If you need point-n-drool GUI goodness, try
Mozilla Thunderbird or Evolution.

Oh, and do try not to top-post replies to the list, please.
