There should be no “email mode” **config setting** (required for `A simple UI with no "bullshit"`! Email compatibility, which is a must, rather sooner than later, makes such a config option obsolete. 🙂

The DC text editor interface may, for example, just show the text that will go into the subject of a composed classic email message with a soft shaded background, ending with the shaded standard subject separator “`-`” in grey. A simple manual carriage return (linefeed) could then serve to manually end the subject and start the body.

And assuming the defaults from the minimal-set of 1 preset selection (+4 hidden options) at: [Use-cases, chat rules and configuration options](https://support.delta.chat/t/wiki-use-cases-chat-rules-and-configuration-options/122), everything (chat and email) can work out-of-the-box, non-obtrusive, easily discoverable by the user, and interacting seamlessly.
