Re: [Evolution] Every email is plain text, cannot view HTML emails

[Fergus <phillip ferguson strath ac uk>]

Milan,

thanks for getting back to me. Yes, i had read the thread you linked and got
a little confused, i assume he is altering locally stored files and
importing them back into evolutions. This really doesn't help with messages
held on an IMAP server. The plugin sounds like the way to go.

More importantly i do not have this plugin. The plugin is not enabled in the
HTML messages tab and i cannot find it inthe plugin list. Do you know how i
could install this plugin? Is there a site index of them ?

Thanks again

Ferg
