[GreenKeys] Lack of HTML Test

[Richard Knoppow]

     A problem with this is that some mail clients will show blank areas 
in HTML messages when set for text.  I've had this happen with 
Thunderbird.  I normally have it set to display "orginal HTML" but 
sometimes switch to text when I get weird looking stuff, (lots of colors 
or changes in size or style of type).
If you want to make sure your receiver can read your messages send them 
in plain text, nearly all mail clients allow this.
