Dillo support went away a while ago but came back in the recent 3.17.0
release, as long as you set the dillo USE flag and enable the plugin in
the Claws configuration.

I see you are using 3.15.0 so if you want HTML support, you'll need to
add ~mail-client/claws-mail-3.17.0 to package.accept_keywords

Dillo is ancient.

Claws has a plugin named "fancy" that handles HTML. At present, this is
disabled by Gentoo due to the fact that the HTML rendering engine
(webkit-gtk for Gtk2) has more holes than Swiss cheese. The Gentoo dev's
are waiting on the Gtk3 version of Claws so that a newer HTML engine can
be used. Until then, it's plain text only.

[gentoo-user] claws-mail HTML

[jdm]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if claws-mail can read HTML?

According to wiki enabling dillo use flag should work but this is no
longer available.

Any suggestions.

I'm sure I used to be able to read HTML emails.

Thanks

John

Thanks for the advice. Using 3.17 has worked.

Also had to change settings in 
Configuration
Preferences
Message View
Text Options
HTML Messages
 Untick render HTML message as text
 Select other two options

Thank you
