You're asking people for help.  Do you think the best way to get results
is to include a paragraph in your message complaining about how awful it
is that said people don't want to see your html mail?

Do you really think that littering a bug report with this type of thing
is a useful thing to do?  Do you think this somehow raises the
impression of your abilities for people who would be helping you?

Please just confine your reports to facts and save the histrionics for a
separate message where they can be safely ignored.
