Heh, this was from memory only. I didn't check, but I do remember this
one being asked for quite frequently.

Personally, I do send text/plain mails only [1] and like this. But
regarding the mails I receive, I rarely care (yes, I don't use this
plugin). Evolution let's me read 'em just fine. :)  And looking at the
average HTML "formatted" mail, they don't do anything but using a
non-fixed width font anyways...

Hell, since when are features removed, just because the have bugs? This
should never have been removed, but fixed.

currently don't recall any.
