By the way, while not rendering HTML (and specially not inlined
images/javascript/...) can be seen as a security feature, I wonder in
what "security context" a browser launched that way will render the
page...

Since the rendered page is probably stored in a temp file, I suspect it
would be rendered in some "local security context"; that could be more
dangerous than either MUAs rendering a small subset of HTML tags
themselves, or browsing the content by following the URL on the
original site (where security limitations of your favorite browser will
probably kick in).

Saving all the attachments of the email as temporary files so that
inlined components can be seen would make that worse...

Just my $0.02.

BR,
Pierre.
