And  Sylpheed does not support OAUTH at all, as far as I
know, and as of May the 30th will no  longer  work  with
Gmail, thank to Google's totalitarism.

I did not know those other client required that one open
each  e-mail in a separate window.  The approach adopted
by Sylpheed, and used in the majority of  classic  news-
readers,  seems to me ligher and righer, especially when
using the navigation keys instead of the mouse.

In  my  case  it is a matter of double-clicking upon the
HTML attachment, but HTML has no place in e-mail to  be-
gin with.  Plain text forever!
