Re: HTML or text for security reasons

[gfp]

Hi Björn,

thanks very much for your thoughts and sharing your emacs config.
I tried it and it works.
What I saw at the first glance is, that with the RET key
you can´t get from the summary buffer down to the articles
but you have to use the TAB key.

kind regards

Gottfried
