Sorry for the inconvenience > caused. Thank you for working to resolve this. The problem isn't the stting of your fonts or colours; those should be irrelevant to us and should affect only you (if you send plain text). Rather, you should compose the message as plain text (and ideally without any HTML-formatted message at all). Instead, configure your mail composition program – whatever that is, online or on your computer – to compose messages in “plain text” format. -- \ “I tell you the truth: this generation will certainly not pass | `\ away until all these things [the end of the world] have | _o__) happened.” —Jesus, c. 30 CE, as quoted in Matthew 24:34 | Ben Finney
