You can't show HTML content without a web browser or a conversion
to ascii AFAIK (BTW, alot uses w3m, which is a web browser :-) ). So you need
to choose between the two (or viewing raw HTML, of course)

That last point is my main problem with alot. There are some algorithms
within the widgets that seem unobviously slow to me.
