I don't know whether there is any relevance, but in Thunderbird I'm
finding strange behaviour for html messages.  My default setting is
"View message body as Original HTML" and that works fine for a lot of
messages, but there are some where I have to change it to "View message
body as Simple HTML" for it to show up - otherwise I just see the code.

Until I hit this I didn't realise that HTML mail might be a very
complicated issue.  Even messages from TechRadar  might come in either
variety.
