I filed a CR (Change Request) as

Dekko should allow via options to configure:

a) if the message has a part of text/plain this should be presented as
   default and not the part of type text/html; the latter should only be
   presented on additional user action;

b) if the message is only of type text/html or if the user requests the
   rendering of the additional part of type text/html, it should be rendered
   to UTF-8 text as, for example, the browser 'lynx' does for terminals;

the rational of both requests is, that the rendering of HTML (actually
done as default) should NOT trigger additional HTTP requests with the
risk of pulling in malware, spyware or the user tracked already only with
the HTTP request (i.e. "user opened mail");
