[snipped]

I use claws-mail with the dillo-viewer plugin to view to see html coded
emails or attachments. I believe that everything else is saved non-html
format by default (though I could be wrong).

To look at the features of this package, look at:
http://www.claws-mail.org/features.php?section=general

and to look at the extra tools available (and plug-ins) go to:
http://www.claws-mail.org/tools.php?section=downloads

The Ubuntu repositories do not show the latest version of claws-mail so
add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file as root:

## Claws-Mail repositories
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/claws-mail/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/claws-mail/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

then save this as claws-mail.asc in your /home/user/ directory and
install on the command line:

sudo apt-key add /home/(user)/claws-mail.asc

or in Synaptic by going to Settings -> Repositories -> Authentication
-> Import Key File. Open claws-mail.asc

If you are not using Jaunty, the authorisation key may be different.
You can get the right key and sources.list lines for your version from:
https://launchpad.net/~claws-mail/+archive/ppa

However if you just want to save HTML as text, try html2text, which you
can find in the repositories

Please do not send me attachment(s) in MsWord or PowerPoint format, as
my computer operating system can't read them. If you are going to send
any attachments, please ensure they are in OpenDocument (.odt) or
OpenDocument Presentation (.odp) format. These can be provided by
OpenOffice.org or Abiword, programs that are available to Microsoft and
Apple operating systems.
