Why go to all that trouble? Claws does all that by default. An
html email displays as plain text. No code. However, there is a
plugin html interpreter if you need must see the html version in all its
wasteful, artsy-fartsy glory.
As far as I can tell, replying to an html email with Claws results in
the reply being sent plain text only.

complain they can't read my emails.
