Hi,

Sylpheed shows the incomming mails as plain-text.

When the mail is HTML only, you can set if you want to view it as
text. This could become the unreadable you are talking about. But
still you'll have a button to open it with the browser, for example,
or save it. 

If it is multipart (plain text and HTML), you'll see a button in the
top right, in the toolbar area, to switch to plain text or HTML.

When is HTML only, you can set in Settings > Common settings > View
tab > Message tab to view it as text, without any HTML formatting.
(As I have Sylpheed in another language, the above location may be
slightly different (I'm just translating on the fly)).

When sending mails, Sylpheed doesn't use HTML formatting. Just to
mention it.

Regards.
