K-9 worked perfectly a few years back, not known what had changed since 
then. But it clearly shouldn't hang the way it does.


I've looked at other e-mail apps and really haven't found one yet that

sends e-mails as text/html, which I learned the BLU list server blocks, 
if I understood Jerry correctly.
