Subject: [NAFEX] small text solved - HTML

A NAFEXER has solved the mystery of the tiny fonts. Those messages
are being sent in HTML despite the instruction (below) to send in
plain text. HTML messages are more than twice as large as plain text
messages, and require extra archives space without giving any
benefits. Usually recipients won't see all the extra, so I'll
explain what an HTML message really is. First there will be a text
message, the part you see. Then that message is repeated with the
addition of all the HTML instructions regarding font, size, colour,
arrangement etc.
