I think HTML is perfectly acceptable when it conveys extra
information... In this case, it would have been hard to see what was
modified in the test when viewed in the archives, unless it came in a
fixed width font. It's not as though Chip used a garish foreground or
background color, or made the text 20 point...

Oh no? Ordinary text in bright cyan on black, unvisited hypertext
links in almost invisible dark blue on black by default, and left-hand
quote marks also almost invisible (and I'm using the same mailer as he
does, though probably with more "standard" colour defaults) and you
don't call it garish? He could at least have left the colours
undefined (so the reader's default colours would apply) or if that was
regarded as inapplicable, set them to something more "ordinary" in
HTML, such as black foreground and white background. (Yeah, I've
noticed there are people who raise the hue and cry whenever "blinding
white" background, as they call it, is used, but white [#FFFFFF] is
the default background in most GUI browsers if you don't change it, so
IMHO it ought not to be regarded as "abnormal".)
Sigh, the only thing that I actively specified was to use a monosized
font. Not to worry; in the future my response to questions that need
monosized fonts will be "that answer cannot be given in this forum".
