When you say you have Thunderbird configured to "accept" text only
emails, do you mean configured to *display* emails as text only?

If so, it's worth remembering you can change how the currently open
message is displayed from the View menu (View -> Display body as)
without faffing around saving out a HTML attachment and moving it around.

(My default is plain text, but I change it for the occasional message
for similar reasons to the problem you encountered)

Hi Vince, Looks like you are a bit behind with your reading. (Date) :-)

But seriously, as I'm only an occasional user of Thunderbird I didn't know
about that... As you note very useful.

The only downside is...
As 99 percent of my email comes via Pluto, and if I find some that are
causing problems I don't really have any choice but to manually take the
stuff Windows side.

Thanks for the info though... Appreciated.

The HTML attachment you see in !Pluto can be dropped on whatever Browser
you usually use on the RO side and viewed there.

I tend to drop the attachment on !Easiwriter to get a good idea of what
it's about. Doesn't read the web refernces in the file but generally gets
all the text. If I want to read more then I pass it to the Windows
machine. Deals with 90% of what I get.
