GtkHTML (used by Evolution) works fine. It generates presentational HTML conforming with the HTML 4.0 Rec, Transitional DTD. (It could use CSS instead, but even without it, the HTML it generates is perfectly standards-compliant.) Editing the generated HTML (i.e., sending an HTML email to myself and editing what I receive) is also a breeze, even if there are tables and such. > Allowing html means allowing all html, not just the easy bits. Uh oh! Someone hurry and tell that to all the people writing text-only Web browsers! They'll be shocked to hear that, I'm sure.
