Thunderbird has a very useful feature: simplified incoming html view. It strips remote images and js, while keeping the minimum to make messages readable.

Responses can use plain text.

I really liked Mutt. I used it for one or two years, a long time ago.

You can pipe text/html to w3m/elinks to get the same results. Well, almost the same, some e-mails are not that well designed. I still love mutt, it's so rapid and it works almost the same when I first used it, over 20 years ago.
