I'm not referring to viewing HTML emails. I already can do that in
Claws-Mail using its Dillo plugin. I'm talking about filling in

and Dillo's capabilities. I have to use a real browser, log into
that particular web mail account (like gmail), click on that
particular email, etc. to do so.
I'm getting the sense that I may not be able to find a client that
can do that.
I don't remember ever getting an emailed form that was anything but
a link to a web page. Who is sending you emailed inline forms?
The ones I respond to are known to me and are legit --
organizations, businesses, government agencies, etc. -- that I do
business with. To respond, I must switch to a web browser, login to
my email account (like gmail), find that particular email, and
enter the requested data either by keyboard, drop-down menu, buttons,
etc., then SUBMIT it. This happens all within the email. I never get
forwarded to another web site. I always stay on the web mail page. As
far as I can tell only the data is sent. The email itself is not
replied to. That is, there's nothing in the "Sent" folder.
