The confusion arises because when you get a plain HTML only
e-mail in Pluto, one (certainly I) *does* read it using a
browser.

This, though, is encoded HTML, but Pluto still displays it
as an HTML attachment.

And one must use the Export option from the menu over the
list of e-mails in the box. You must send the whole, raw
e-mail to Attacher, not just the encoded HTML attachment.
