After consulting with the #emacs IRC channel, I found that
rmail-mime-prefer-html could be changed to nil, speeding up the
rendering of message bodies in emails quite a bit. An amusing aside is
that they suggested I might be the only user of Rmail other than
RMS. I'm not sure I totally believe that, but the good news there is
that Rmail shares code with Gnus and EWW, at least for rendering HTML.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled program.
Cheers,
