Thanks for your message on mail clients. Such messages are useful while to
while when technology evolves.

I like html and prefer to use mails in html mode instead of reading attached
documents.
Html mode is not parcimonious compared to ascii mode but is much more
parcimonious than Word is for example.

Copying and pasting riched (structured) texts (and tables) from and to a
mail client is not offered by most mail clients. Microsoft clients do it
correctly. Any other does it ?

Like you I also need mail clients who manage IMAP boxes correctly. One of
the option I also need is the ability to change the smtp server
automatically so that when your provider change (because you move your
laptop from business to home) your mail will not be "relay denied". In my
case I have to change it manually and forget it often.
