Please forgive the top-posting. I think anything else would be cruel in 
this case.

The quoted message is entirely in HTML formatting. I don't know why 
anybody uses HTML in email, but it is altogether out of place in list 
traffic. It is worse in this case, because the message contains no 
plain-text part at all. Please write to the list in Plain Text only.
