I dug around in the upper reaches of my inbox and found two things.

(1) I need to sort/delete some old email

(2) I had an HTML formatted message.

My client supports an option to open unsupported formats in external
programs so I could open the file up in my usual web browser should I
consider the email important (and that doesn't happen often).

You can see a screenshot here:

It should be available there for a while (at some stage it will get
zapped but not in the next few weeks) and I've blurred out email
addresses and subject lines to protect the guilty and my privacy.

HTML email is a bit like using coloured paper and glitter ink on a CV.
