@flohack I moved to the USA, in 96, skype has been useful,as a cheaper, alternative, to expensive landlines. Wow,that was when a cell phone was a "Bag Phone" British Army,early 70's. HERFORD Germany

I have to correct my first guess here: Its not an issue with oxide not displaying html mails. The problem is with multi part emails: The library involved there is qt-messaging-framework. Somehow it returns 0 bytes for the parts of multi part emails on xenial. Could be an issue with qmf but could also be something else... (maybe dbus, unclear up to now...) Any experience with would be welcome!

Whether to develop and polish features on 16.04 for the time being, or to move to 18.04 as soon as possible, is discussed starting at about 33:15 in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 32. Personally, I hope that the UBports team will move Ubuntu Touch to 18.04 as soon as practical (not as soon as possible). The UBports team is making progress with Unity8 for the desktop on 18.04, including progress toward full Wayland support, and I'd like to see the same Wayland support on the phone. But the wait-and-see approach taken by the devs seems most prudent. And who knows, maybe the puzzle pieces (with Mir, systemd, etc) will fall into place, allowing them to move to 18.04 more quickly than anticipated. Or at least that's my hope.

@dtarrant great now your up to speed

@lakotaubp you're welcome
