And please please please do not put your emails as black text on a transparent background. Those of us with black backgrounds see *nothing*. If you specify a text color, then *make*certain* to specify a background color too, but better still, send your emails as plain text.
FWIW, that message was sent in *both* plain text and html.
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. :)
