+ Uses the Dillo browser (http://www.dillo.org) to render HTML mails

+ special options to embed its window inside Claws Mail's message
+ view and to render the HTML safely. If required, remote content
+ can be also retrieved.

+ o Fancy
+ Renders HTML mails and HTML parts of multipart messages using the
+ GTK+ port of the WebKit library. External content is blocked by
+ default (including images) to avoid remote tracking, but can be
+ enabled either globally or just on the displayed message. The GTK+
+ WebKit is available from http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/.

o Fetchinfo
Modifies downloaded messages and inserts special headers containing
some download information: UIDL, Claws Mail account name, POP server,
user ID and retrieval time. These headers can be used later for more
elaborate filtering or processing rules.
