Because HTML e-mail sucks donkey balls.

Please turn off HTML in your mail client. Most people on the Internet cannot read the message unless you do. For more information, please visit these links:

Note: any decent e-mail client can make the links clickable if you just do this:

(replace the () with angle brackets for it to work)

unknown signature Algorithm." What does this
