Yeah, I overreacted.  There has been a lot of top-posting lately, but if 
a message is expected to be the end of the thread, I shouldn't care what 
it looks like.  Sorry.

Still html.  It didn't matter in this case, but html can cause painful 
formatting.  And worse, it'll be different for different recipients.  So 
some people will see exactly what was sent, while others will see things 
messed up a little, or a lot.  The formatting can get messed up by the 
sender's mailer, or by the receiver's mail program, or both.

Dennis showed you what your current message looked like, so I won't 
repeat the whole thing.  But your original message had a 
"multipart/alternative" which gets interpreted as plain text by many 
mail programs (including mine == Thunderbird), but it was already 
misformatted, with newlines in the wrong places.  And it had an "html", 
which was correctly formatted, or at least could be interpreted 
correctly by mine.

So the output of google mail was in this case just plain wrong.

Any reason you're using google mail when you have your own email address 
+ domain?
