Hi Michael/List; Great to hear from you! Rich formatting is when your email software adds a special font, bold print, colored text, etc. to the email message. This is accomplished using HTML, which is what web pages use - so basically rich formatting makes email messages display more like a web page. Unfortunately HTML in emails can also allow hackers to hide nefarious code within the message.
