Nothing to do with "smart" but some people (like me) sometimes are "stuck" 
using the console or just prefer a console-based mail app such as elm, mutt 
or pine. Not sure about pine, but elm and mutt are terrible at handling HTML 
so it simply makes our life more difficult.

For me it's gotten to a point where I'm seriously considering having procmail 
delete all email that's in HTML. Anybody here any experience with that?
