Like i said, your client can't handle it correctly. It should notice "oh, its
HTML, lets rewrite it into plain text". You dont have to use the right
software, just use intelligent software. Perhaps you insert a line break if you
arrive the end of the window, i dont do this cause of im using a computer and
not a typewriter! This is a "one line message", no line breaks inserted.
theoretical belief: Would you write in HTML just cause my client cant handle
plain text? No, you wouldn't!
