Wow folks.  Is this really worth complaining about?  Why waste time 
writing email clients that use HTML if people are gonna whine about it?

AGAIN.. I copied from HTML output into mozilla thunderbird...I sent the 
email as PLAIN TEXT...if you don't like how mozilla thunderbird deals 
with it...complain to them... but fundamentally go somewhere else with 
this petty complaint.
