Take that Ray Banana, ruler of Eternal⋅September land !

To get the HTML ( below, and in the body of this message )
working properly, I had to test gMail, Windows Live Mail,
Thunderbird and Google Groups.

  <body style='background: black;'>
  <pre style='background: black; font-family: DejaVu Sans Mono;'
    'padding: 2em; color: rgb( 88, 44, 44 ); font-size: 25px;'>

WinMail needs the "body" tag; otherwise the black background
ends with the text, instead of covering the window.
Google Groups completely ignores the "body" tag.

WinMail is borked, it can't handle mixed⋅case tags.
Worse, it won't let you zoom, not at all ! What a train wreck !

Also, WinMail needs the "font-family: DejaVu Sans Mono";
othewise the font looks really, really bad.

gMail and Thunderbird are flawless, of course.
Google got gMail right because, unlike Google Groups,
it earns them $$$.
