this too might be an odd question, but why might one choose not to use
gmail in html mode directly?
Very back of the class question of course.

So if gmail is not a viable option what are others using instead?

I wasn't able to do so without a huge amount of inconvenience. Here's the rest of that story too. I went as far as enabling two-step authentication in February of 2018. Last week I tried logging into my google account. My password was complex and 20 characters in length the last time I logged into that account successfully. Last week the password had been changed and whoever did that had it shortened to 14 characters. I ended up deleting my account. If I ever create another google account I will not use any of google's enhanced security features since all of them only provide the authorized users a huge amount of hassle and are trivial for hackers to crack.

Subject: command line email clients and gmail.com
Hi folks,
On my archlinux system with its command line environment, I have
three email clients able to send mail directly to my gmail smtp server
at port 587.
1. mutt with msmtp.
2. alpine
3. edbrowse.
All three methods work only when my google account security settings
have enabled something called "Allow access by less secure apps.
Recently I have been asked by google to disable that feature for
security reasons, but doing so prevents my outgoing mail from being
accepted by smtp.gmail.com.
Anybody else able to use gmail.com with that security feature
disabled, as google advises? Suggestions appreciated.
Chuck
