Wow.  Quite harsh.   Did you even bother to look to see what this
gentleman's email application is?  Not everybody has total control (or
care for total control) over their email tool, some people just prefer
to use something that works and works well.   For the record:  GMail
had zero problems correctly displaying Ryan's email, it look nice,
neat, well formatted and quite informative.
