Sorry for the long quote, demonstrating what happens when I reply to 
HTML messages. See my comment at the bottom.

As you can see yourself, your reply to Graemes plain-text message is 
HTML with an useless attachment. While your answer looks nice, the 
quoted part looks very ugly :-(

HTML messages are hard to read for me, because of their unusal font and 
text size settings.
