Please start using a MUA on your FreeBSD desktop environment.

In the archive your mails look like this:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2020-June/289811.html

They look way more confusing, if a MUA displays HMTL text as plain text
and if this is the first choice to be displayed. A workaround some of
us are using, to be able to get the information out of even the most
worse formatted messages.

It's possible to do this. It's just helpful for some beginners.
