I know many of you see this as an advantage, but I'd really like to add 
a html (bold, italics, font size) signature to my business mail. 
Accentuating words and/or sentences with bold or italics is also a must 
(for me and a lot of other users). using *bold* and /italics/ just 
doesn't make sense to everybody... Some might even think of that as 
going 10 years back in time...

If you don't like html mail, you can always disable it... It's what the 
majority of computer users want, and IMHO that's html based email 
displaying and composing...

Yes and no, I haven't found a theme which doesn't have the alternating 
colored rows instead of a plain background, so I think it's in the 
widget... (non-developer speaking)

I've tried Claws for a while, but the above drove me back in the arms of 
Thunderbird...
