HTC One Main Email doesn't show HTML
My new HTC One is great, but I do have one weird question. If there are pictures in a document it gives me an option to see the pictures, but it doesn't appear to show HTML on some e-mails. Instead it shows the subject in a link, but if I go in my desktop it shows the html look and feel. Any suggestions.

It is important to mention that at the beginning, my phone is not associated with the AP, hence reading RSSI via `wpa_cli signal_poll` does not work. The best I have found so far is to repeatedly issue a ...
