That's all I got from your HTML email.
Lei Niu's comment was beneath that! HTML mail is always hard to read
in text clients,

Yes, it is a mismatch between MUAs (Mail User Agent). Some do not honor
RFC 3676 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.3).
When replying to a message with a standard DASH DASH SP CR LF at the
beginning of a line, then they should display it when reading, but
delete it and everything after that when replying. If they don't it
confuses other MUAa and is especially problematical on mailing lists.
The LFS lists all follow the standard of placing a footer at the end of
all posts. Users who use non-compliant MUAs *should* manually delete
the footer when replying, but many do not even know about the standard.
I will note that thunderbird and seamonkey are compliant, but Google's
Web mail is not. I do not know the status of other MUAs.
