Are you saying you have problem with black text on a white background?

#000000 == black
#ffffff == white

There are no font declarations in the body. The rendering of this
message (including font size and family) is left entirely up to your
mail reader. HTML mail is a reality of being on the Internet in 2003 --
I'm sorry you loathe it so but it would be silly to not use it.

Mark up languages can express document structure and layout in so many
more significant and less painful ways than text/plain can. Would it
make you happier if I set the doctype to XHTML Basic where all
formatting tags and complex nested tables are banned entirely?
