Provide a Way to Disable HTML in Emails
Html is very present in emails from CRM software but is rarely ever present in emails sent from friends and relatives. It is unnecessary, wastes space, and presents some vulnerabilities and tracking potential. Scammers can use html to obfuscate urls for phishing attacks, and companies can use images to track opens. Can Proton add a way to either strip html from emails before it reaches my inbox, or disable the rendering of the html once it is in my inbox, or both? Or at least disable the rendering of links specifically, so that they can no longer be obfuscated? Outlook has a way to do this, and it works great, but I'd like to be able to check emails in my browser as well, without having html render there.

Oh, that is good to know! Can you point me to the place in the settings where I can block html from emails I receive? I still don't see it.

Plaintext emails should be better supported. For receiving but also for sending.
