You need to enable a plugin for html mail, but the plugin ships with claws. Up until 2013 the best option was a janky GtkHtml based plugin (about as good as average html e-mail renderings from early 00s, so not good), the current one is webkit based and works great[1]
What do you mean by "default mail https://www.colino.net/wordpress/archives/2013/03/14/claws-mails-fancy… being non-standard"?
you don't need a script to order threads by date, it's an option in the main menu.
It doesn't offer downloading over HTTPS, but a GPG signature is provided. Old-school, but not at all insecure.
Things it does better than TB:
TB has corrupted it's mail store on 3 separate occasions, in 3 different releases spread out over a decade. Claws has never done that. That's the reason I switched.
It's builtin filtering, sorting, &c. tools are really great. Full-text search is slower than I'd like, but header based searching is plenty fast (the mode I use most searches all of from/to/subject, which is mostly what I want to do). When I need to do full-text searching I fall back on notmuch.
My requirements for an e-mail client are fairly simple (in order of importance):
1) Let me read my mail
2) Don't lose my mail
3) Give me some reasonable way to automate the parts of my workflow that it makes sense to.
TB has failed so bad at #2, that I've not spent the time to explore how it is at #3. It's about equal at #1.
