How to Read All Mail in Plain Text in Inbox.com

Monday July 7, 2008
The air condition's reassuring hum; birds chirping melodically; chatter from the park nearby; your computer's busy fan: sounds and noises are seldom distracting and often even comforting — as long as they are not distinct and orderly.
It's much harder to ignore the neighbor talking over the phone in her elevated cell phone pitch; difficult to filter out the announcer blaring in a nearby stadium; impossible to stay focused with your co-worker's beloved hip hop verses vibrating out of her ears right into yours, half understood.
By the same token, maybe you can grasp an email's content faster if you turn off the formatting and images, just seeing the distinct and ordered characters?
›› Inbox.com can display all messages, even those with images and formatting, in secure and legible plain text.
