not many, but it's not zero.

Then basically,text only is a niche market, and is not the future for
the majority of users.

In Thunderbird, you can turn off the HTML renderer.

This makes the tool capable of supporting more
than one kind of user.

If you're spammed with a tracking email with 1x1 pixel
GIF cookies in it, having HTML turned off means the
spammer gets no feedback.

Well, YOU are right now in a communication venue that shuns HTML.

Buying direct from Microsoft means you pay the highest price.

emClient looks interesting. Be nice
if there was a Linux version.

Since em Client is not a turbocharged program, like an action video
game, I would try running it under WINE. Polling servers is slow,
network connections to Exchange, IMAP, POP, and SMTP server are slow
because e-mail isn't a file transfer protocol and e-mail servers
throttle the connections so each gets some throughput, and reading
e-mails is a slow process. Seems like em Client or another Windows
e-mail client would be a viable candidate to run under WINE.

I *think* I have 1903 as of 2 days ago, based only on changes that were
coming that I now see. But I've not spotted anything that says 1903.

Hit Alt+R.
Run "winver".
That'll tell you the build version.

I have both MS and Apple accounts, but I log in to my systems with local
accounts.. I just have no need to have my systems "tethered to the
mother ship". G

I've found even more Cortana settings along with apps that use the
techniques that I mentioned before. I've tried to shut them all up, but
still the lockscreen divulges my personal information. If I don't get
1903 in a couple months (to then kill Cortana but keep the Search), I'll
just kill Cortana but it now requires a registry edit in the Home
edition (which might be the equivalent of using the policy editor in the
Pro edition since all policies are registry entries); see:

I do not want any notifications on my lockscreen. This violates my
privacy by exposing my e-mails and calendar events to anyone that
wanders by my computer to look at the lockscreen. Mail and Calendar are
showing their notifications (reminders) on my lockscreen.

I'm not talking about the popup or toaster notifications on the bottom
right-side of the lockscreen although I also do NOT want those, either.
I'm talking about the in-screen notifications (aka reminders) about my
e-mails and scheduled events from the Mail and Calendar apps that appear
in the lockscreen at the bottom left. I don't want toaster popups about
my e-mails and calendar events. I don't want them as reminders within
the lockscreen image itself, either.

I have gone to "Settings - Personalization - Lock screen" and removed
all apps that were listed under "Choose apps to show quick status".
There is no Remove or Delete option. You click on the app in the list
and scroll to the top of the app list to select "None". I have gone to
"Settings - System - Notifications & actions" and deselected the "Show
notifications on lock screen" option. I also have "Show reminders and
incoming VOIP calls on the lock screen" disabled. I have logged off and
back on, in case those options are effected only on login. Nope, I
still get the reminders at the bottom left-side of the lockscreen under
the clock and datestamp lines.

I missed one setting which is what appears to show my personal info on
the lock screen (which, to me, is a privacy breach since anyone can walk
by to tap a key to show the lock screen):

Settings app - Personalization - Lock screen
Choose an app to show detailed status

It was still set to the Calendar app, so my events were showing up on
the lock screen. By clicking on the selection, a list pops up. I chose
the None selection at the top of the list. Now my calendar events are
no longer showing on the lock screen.

It did not dawn upon me that "detailed status" equated to the quick
access content on the lock screen. I've been in that settings page many
times. Then I realized that, yep, these are the lock screen settings.
So, what the hell, see what happens when I choose None for the app to
show its detailed status. Poof, no more revealing my calendar events on
the lock screen.

The Weather is the only one I could get working.

My fake email setup "wasn't good enough"
for the Mail one to work.

And the Weather thinks I'm in Washington.

When you actually load the Weather app and go into its settings, what is
specified under Launch Location?

I tried that early on, but with everyone else sending me HTML, it wasn't
worth the extra work to view those HTML files.

Yep. G And look how few of today's computer users are in this venue.

I checked a couple hours after posting, and indeed it's 1903.
