> It is a security reason. You could receive an HTML mail that looks like a plain text mail, and with HTML you have the ability to embed malicious links everywhere. If you have no way to see that the message is actually an HTML message, i.e. _outside_ the message viewer, you could click those links without being aware that they link to sites that you don't see in the text.

I just assume that every message is an HTML message. Most of the time i am
right.

I changed all the colors to black. It's what i call security by obscurity ;-)

I wonder when K9Mail authors are going to remove the ability to open links in
your browser of choice and only allow wget piped into less because it's
obviously more secure than GUI browsers.
