My LTS Firefox deemed too old by this page. (302 to https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/cspace-bad/cspace-old-browser....)

Hasn't happened just a month ago or so.

Funnily enough, curl (not a recent version, I might add) worked fine.

P.S. Downvote all you want, but provide a reason. My message just stated facts, not an opinion.

I've had a lot of fun vibe coding my own text-based email client and reader using mostly Python's stdlib. It is my daily driver and found no problem with parsing so far. It also leads to a very efficient and simple HTML reader submodule.

I know this is terminal based and kind of the point but I found it interesting that neither this post, nor any of the linked ones or linked email software clients he uses have screenshots. I know they are TUIs but I was still curious how they look.
