[Evolution] How can I force plaintext?

["Alastair Douglas" <alastair douglas gmail com>]

Hi List,

I know you're likely to answer that I should use the 'prefer
plaintext' plugin, but this is not supported, a demo plugin, and
broken.

I'm using Evolution on Ubuntu 8.04 if that's any relevance and I'm
sick and tired of badly-formatted emails. Why do so many people insist
on sending me blue emails?

Anyway, I can use the Prefer Plaintext plugin to convert basic HTML
emails to text but I can't use it to convert complex HTML emails to
text - especially ones that use tables for layout. Since our
infinitely wise team here decided before I joined that project updates
should go in HTML I am now in the situation where I either can't read
about project updates or I have to put up with people sending me blue
emails (the least of several crimes)

Please help. I'm too young to be formatted!

Al
