It's not the *attachment* that isn't working, then...

#82856 — Sending plain text messages (was: what is wrong with d.clear()?)

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 suspect that in most cases sender don't understand what do you mean 
saying "So why did you send it to me?".

Posts on this list are supposed to be plain text.  Let me decide what 
font color and size I want for reading.

How do you know what font the OP is using to compose his text?

I see his post in the font of my choosing, which for the record is "DejaVu
LGC Sans Mono 10", in black, on a white background. But if I was stupid
enough to use "Comic Sans 72" in light green on a pale pink background, or
if the OP choose to use the same, why is that anyone's business but ours?

Anyone who sets their mail or news client to render HTML messages by default
is simply opening themselves to a world of hurt. Poor choices of font is
only the beginning of what nasties the sender can do to you if you render
HTML in your mail/news client.
