An HTML message is a Web page enclosed in E-mail packets.  You are doing
the right thing by wanting to use plain text.  Whoever sent you the
message, however, was not doing the right thing.

See my <http://www.rossde.com/internet/ASCII_mail.html> for why I think
HTML-formatting does not belong in E-mail.  See also the link on that
page to "ASCII vs HTML E-Mail: Sizes and Errors." (in a box on the
right).  Before you dispute my position, read both Web pages completely.
 Otherwise, you will be arguing from ignorance.
