Possibly you meant to impart information. However all HTML and attachments are blocked here, and generally on newsgroups in the better ISPs, as a security risk.
Usenet is a text medium.

as Secretariat and Mr Ed were both horses." - James Rhodes.

morals. We now know that it is bad economics" - FDR
No HTML received here. Indeed, the header information you include above indicates you received "Plain Text" using "7bit" (presumably ASCII) encoding.
You do have to scan ahead of the MIME stuff, though.

My mistake. It did, however, contain a MIME attachment, which should not occur in usenet. It does nothing but expand the transmissions, and present a security risk.
A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
