[LBo] Looking for GUI Mail Client that easily switches between viewing the plain text and HTML of a "composite" email

I'd like to find one or more alternative GUI email clients that have about the 
same feature set as kmail, but, for "composite" emails (emails that contain 
both a plain text and HTML version of the content), allows very quick/easy 
switching between viewing the HTML or plain text version for a single email.

kmail (at least version 3.4.2) doesn't quite do it.  You can set the 
preference "Prefer HTML to plain text" which does make the switch, but that 
option is either set globally (for all folders) or for an entire folder.  
There is no way (that I've found) to do it for a single email and doing it 
globally or for an entire folder (and then switching it back) is more 
cumbersome than I'd like.

PS: Not to worry--I still, and expect to always, prefer plain text emails to 
HTML emails, and will only send HTML emails by accident or for some specific 
purpose (testing??).  The reason for this inquiry is for my (me-ware, 
initially offline) askSam/TWiki-like thingie--a possible next step in its 
evolution.
