2021-09-03: Outlook Web Apps: WTF rak ================================================================ I recently moved to Montreal to start a postdoc at McGill. Annoyingly, McGill uses Office365/OWA with mandatory 2FA for their email, so I had to patch neomutt to support XOAUTH2 authentication [0]. Infinitely more annoying is the following OWA "feature": I saved a draft of a plaintext email over IMAP using neomutt. When I went to resume my email, I discoverd that OWA had converted my email to, you guessed it, HTML. Thankfully, they were kind enough to tell me that they had done so by adding an HTML comment:
Hi,

blah blah blah

blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah
