Re: [Evolution] attachment.dat

I understand the comment and the feature. I get it, I got it the first
time, but this behaviour is inconsistent with that of other email client
apps, and will thus prevent me from using Evolution. 
I'm going to have to go with Thunderbird, which is unfortunate because
the Exchange integration would have been nice to have. But having to use
a work around because the sender doesn't know how to send a text/plain
vice text/html and my LAN policy is to allow plain text email is just
not workable.
I'd still like to know what the mechanism is whereby the reply window
can display the text from the HTML when sending as plain text. Should I
submit this as a bug or feature request?

Did you read the bug I gave a link to? Specifically in this comment
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470291#c8
is a little explanation what is causing that.

Maybe you didn't get it from my initial posting, so once again: you
instructed Prefer-plain plugin to not show you any text/html part, so it
does that. Not the best way of doing it, hence the fix in the above bug.
You can let it work more properly when you change the prefer-plain
option to the "Prefer PLAIN" even without the fix, on the same place as
you read:

        Bye,
