          • Unfortunately, not really. This possibly might have to do with versions, I hope, versions from nowadays will show the text version of the email, if one is available. In my case, the text version of the message has different content. :-(

          • Works for me thanks! On newer versions (I'm on 60.0) you need to press alt key first to see view option.
