Maybe we can start asking for actual HTML. :)
I don't mind HTML emails per se, but this particular email contains HTML
broken to the point where it doesn't even contain an HTML tag. And the
plain text version contains lines longer than 80 characters. So it
looks somewhat odd, either way.
In this case I'd like to politely ask the original poster to use a more
polite user agent.
