That's the body of the message. HTML messages (oxymoron though that
may be <g>) are indicated by an appropriate header. Normally an HTML
message is sent in multipart format and is preceded by a text version
of the same, in which case the headers look something like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative";
boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0011_01C12BC8.6DDF7860"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
... then (later, just at the start of the body)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ------=_NextPart_000_0011_01C12BC8.6DDF7860
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="----=_NextPart_001_0012_01C12BC8.6DDF7860"
- ------=_NextPart_001_0012_01C12BC8.6DDF7860
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This immediately precedes the text version which is itself followed by
the HTML part, preceded by the header:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ------=_NextPart_001_0012_01C12BC8.6DDF7860
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main point here is that the header
tells the client that the message has been written using HTML
encoding. Without this (or close equivalent) TB hasn't got a hope of
guessing that it's HTML just from content,
