In the last years I'm receiving more and more emails containing only
html-formatted text and no plain text.
sup displays these emails as empty mails with an html attachment.
It would be great if sup was able to distinguish between actual html
attachments and such deficient mails, and would extract and display
the text part of these mails.
I'm not able to hack this myself at the moment, but perhaps someone
picks up the idea?
It's written a lot of times, but let me repeat it:
Good that sup is alive again!
Greetings to all
Ruthard

This can be solved with mime-decode hook [1].

Hi,
I have a mime-decode hook for exactly this problem. It unfolds html
attachments if there is no plaintext part in an email.
$ cat mime-decode.rb
unless sibling_types.member? "text/plain"
case content_type
when "text/html"
`/usr/bin/elinks -dump '#{filename}'`
end
end
Best regards,
Markus

I'm feeling the same pain here mainly due to unpolished in-house services
sending out html-only mails. More annoyingly, sup doesn't index these mails
since HTML is treated as attachments.
I've created an issue[1] on Github to talk about it further.

What do you mean by "sup doesn't index" these mails -- I have no
problems with them except the annoying need of opening them manually,
that is solved with the mime-decode hook?
Greetings,

I can verify the problem on my installation of sup. It doesn't index
the HTML-only emails, i.e., it doesn't read the contents of the HTML
attachment to put those contents in the xapian index. The result is
that you can't search for words that appear in an HTML-only email and
expect that email to appear in the search results.
