Hello
Sorry, but just because Your mail client isn't able to display this,
makes it not worse! What's wrong, having text formating and colors in a
email? Whould you prefer reading internet pages just in plain text? Or
reading a book without any formatting? The additional code in html
transports additional information! And by the way: The mail was written
using Thunderbird not with the outlook virus catcher.

Multipart/alternative text and HTML is the worst waste there is. The
vast majority of the time, the HTML markup is just auto-generated stuff,
so all it really ends up being is a more than double-size message.
Mostly such email is spam (I drop such messages to my main mailbox).
