And my client is capable of rendering HTML, but your HTML message
specified a foreground color, but no background color, thus it
defaulted to transparent, meaning that my window background color of
black shows through, so your black text was on a transparent
background, that was actually black. If you are going to specify a
foreground color in your HTML, it is best to always specify a
background color too, including on webpages as there is no actual
'default' setting for such things even in a web-browser. :)
