Still looks like html to me.  Sooner or later you'll mess somebody up 
doing that.  My current email program can ignore that part, and for a 
simple message I have no problem, but many of us have had trouble 
before, and will again.

As Steven says, it's probably hopeless, but if I can just convince a few 
more people --     tell your email program to just use text.  Help stamp 
out html mail, except when it actually helps.  And not on a text forum, 
where some gateways don't even handle the html correctly.
