Re: [R-SIG-Mac] macOS Ventura (13) Preview App Drops Support for PS/EPS File Rendering
Somehow you sent HTML only, and that renders oddly in Thunderbird. Have you considered GhostScript? That used to be my viewer of choice for Postscript long ago. I think TeXShop may be a wrapper. My box has Photoshop as the default viewer for .eps and TeXShop for .ps. I almost never use Photoshop: it comes as part of Adobe's Photographers Bundle.
