HTML received mails too wide

We read "If you are having trouble viewing the full width of an HTML email in Thunderbird for Android, you can either pinch and zoom or change the viewing mode. "

Well that involves moving back and forth for each and every line.

Sure, blame it on the sender for assuming we have a desktop computer.

But now it's too late, they've already sent it to us.

Gmail gets around this by reformatting the HTML to fit the screen size.

Or perhaps we could be allowed to see the plain text version of a multi-part MIME message, like Roundcube allows us to.

By the way regarding "changing the viewing mode," well there's no way to do that.

I was wrong about Gmail too.

Anyway Roundcube is the winner.

For Thunderbird on Android there's no way to even know if an email has a "text/plain" multipart MIME alternative part.
