So I'm confused.  I use K9 and looked at the ascii art from that message in K9.
Looked perfect.

OTOH, my default view for all email systems and clients is 7bit ascii.
Simplifies life when some mail systems don't include the ascii - so I don't have
to bother with those emails at all - they appear empty.  Big time-saver for me. ;)

If I really, really, really want to see the html email, I can use webmail ... er
... which happens about 3 times a year.  The same applies to PPTX files. ;)
