Some html gets through in the message. Some gets added as an attachment.
It's either one or the other, not a mixture. I haven't looked into why it
does one sometimes and the other other times. Now I simply /dev/null
anything with "html" in the header or <html> in the beginning of the
body. I also (by the way) /dev/null anything that has microsoft or
outlook or outlookexpress or funny font names (like big5 or wondows-1252)
plus a large number of addresses, non-addresses and keywords.
Headers (which I have turned off by default) and footers get through and
are in the displayed body.
Xfmail isn't the best mailer in the world. But it's the one I'm used to.
I kinda like balsa but it still falls short a little for my tastes. I've
tried all I can name except evolution, which I'm trying to try right now
(damn dependencies!!) and xfmail still comes the closest for my tastes.
On 'Doze (which no longer exists in my household) I just went mostly with
AOL-NS (formerly netscape), though I was rather fond of pegasus.
