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

[Jackson Robertson]

Kramer,

I have just recently started using sylpheed-claws, the gkt2 version,
and this client has exactly what you are looking for. I don't know if
has the same feature set as kmail but it has a very nice feature set.
You can check it out online at http://www.claws-mail.org/. I allows you
to just click an icon to go back and forth between plain text/html
e-mails. No picking your way through menus or option dialogs. Hope this
will work for you, its a very nice client and has a very small memory
footprint.
