Note: slight amounts of sarcasm are present in the email. I don't 
really mean this personally, I'm just annoyed.
Hmm, I wonder if this is sending in html, that would be funny...

Amazingly, you don't have to-- look more closely:

The first part says that it's a multipart message, and look at the 
header for the second part. "text/plain"! Exactly what you wanted! 
Isn't it incredible?
And then you look at the first line, and it says "build it. Do I have 
to pay you?"  Then comes an email address, and then "Original message", 
so you can ignore the rest of the email.

If you won't bother to even look at the email or get an email reader 
that reads html or can convert html to text, then stop complaining.
