Personally - NB, I mean that, it is just me
I do not like formats that force me to move the visible screen
transversely in order to see things - there are reasons why we use
the 'old' format. Yes they are historic from the days when we
couldn't screen sideways with ease, but I am an 'oldie' too... If
we want to use spreadsheets then we could send them (and then load
them into whatever format we individually prefer) But...

My two cents…
Cent 1: It displays fine on my desktop email client (the most recent version of Outlook), except that it scrolls to the right of my preview window, so I either have to open the email in its own window, or slide a scrollbar on the bottom to see the rightmost columns. On my iPhone the whole table is shrunk so small as to be unreadable. I have to use my fingers to pinch/expand the image on the phone to read it, and then slide it left and right to read the content.
Cent 2: Others have noted that they receive both text and HTML. That’s actually what is sent online when you send emails, allowing older, text-based clients to read the text and ignore the formatting and newer, modern clients to read the formatted version and ignore the text. Or, some people even have their modern email clients set to display text-only as a security/privacy precaution. Or some Linux power-users might prefer a text-only mail application. While it’s nifty to have a HTML version, if the text counterpart is unreadable, it’s probably a no-go.
TL;dr:
I much prefer the text-based format that allows simple scrolling, or a much narrower left-to-right image format.

Judy, why do you go from a pdf to jpg? that seems an unnecessary
step - just send the pdf for |I would have thought that most
people have a pdf reader nowadays

Much the same way, but I didn’t complain. This wasn’t a complaint, either, it was just feedback that was asked for. 😊

No one complained when I sent the .jpg, although I realize that scrolling may be necessary. How are players receiving that?Judy

Judy,
I am not worried - as I said, I'd prefer text

I also prefer text.
