I don't really understand the motivation for this- its not like basic HTML emails is a difficult thing to support.

I’d highly recommend posteo for anyone reading this, wanting a privacy focused html-only email service.

This isn't about html content in emails, it's about the legacy non-SPA version of the Gmail web client.

I think they were referring to the email client itself being HTML, but it was worded a bit confusingly

It’s the only gmail version that’s not sloooowww and doesn’t eat many hundreds of megabytes to low-gigabytes of memory just for an email client.

This’ll be a good push to finally move everything to Fastmail.
