Fair enough - as I said, I'm not privy to how the whole mess started,
just stating my observations (and assumptions) based on the back & forth
in the thread in general.

Can't particularly help there, as I don't know what client you're using.
Though some of the "newer" ones are horrific in the amount of
"customization" that you're not allowed to do (because the writer didn't

Indeed we are. The people who send HTML messages often create "fun"
issues (as my client expects text alone). But, "text only" is now
seemingly the "alternate" rather than the "default behavior" for sending
emails.
