View as HTML

[Baylink]

Because I engage in a lot of mailing list traffic (and because, c'mon; email is supposed to be just text; advertisers be damned :-), I have my webclient set to force text mode whenever possible.

But even I occasionally get a message in HTML that I want to read that way (y'know; the new subscriber updates from meetme.hotornot.com :-), and I was hoping I'd see a "View as HTML" button on the reading pane or popup somewhere... but I don't. Not on the right-click menu for Message List items either.

Should I feech this, or am I just missing it?

File it - may already be in there but my searches don't find anything.

To avoid confusion with 'view as HTML' typically as reference to convertd on attachments, might title it:
Ad-hoc 'Display message as HTML' when set to read mail as Text.

Bug hung on the hook.

I'm writing up a bunch of other stuff against 5.0.9, some insectoid and some feechy. I'll try to be circumspect about the difference. ;-)
