I have made a patch from this, but I am still testing it. Sometimes the patch applies and works as expected and other times patchmanager gives an error message and fails to apply the patch. If I unapply all patches and then apply the new patch, it then applies and works as expected....weird. Once I can get a smoother operation from using the patch, I will offer it up on Openrepos for those interested.

@s_mario - do I have your consent to offer the patch for public use, seeing as it is your idea/data..??, let me know please, thanks.

Meanwhile, I will get onto @coderus to see if he can shed more light on why the patch works sometimes and not other times.

Wat is happening over here? Lemme get some things straight:

1. Being closed source isn't usually a problem when talking about QML files (they can be read/wrote by user). For example Jolla's homescreen is also closed source, but there are a ton of patches available for it. In this case the QML files aren't as easily accessible as with some other apps, but I'll cover that at 4.

2. Jolla Together and Tidings don't display HTML, they use things called APIs (application programming interfaces) or RSS feeds and such (Tidings) to get the data. HTML is not involved here.

3. The email app doesn't use the gecko browser engine. Instead it uses SilicaWebView which is actually a modified WebView from Qt Quick.

4. The email app's QML files are stored in the binary at /usr/bin/jolla-email so we can't edit those. However, we can edit the SilicaWebView systemwide by editing the SilicaWebView.qml file at /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/
   You can have a look at the file here: https://github.com/dm8tbr/sailfishsilica-qt5/blob/master/usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/SilicaWebView.qml
