You are using an email program with unfortunate properties.

the email the original poster sent out contained:

{TITLE>@lt;b@gt;Donald Duck - @lt;i@gt;The True Story@lt;/i@gt;
@lt;/b@gt;{/TITLE>
  {/BOOK>

except I have changed every < to { and every & to @ so that
over eager mail readers do not decide they know best and
think that because the content looked like html it _was_ html even
though the mime type is explictly set to text/plain.

It is your email _reader_ that is the problem, not the mail message
itself. It's because of these broken readers that we have to keep doing
sillyness like writing character referenences as " & # 1 6 0 ; " with
extra spaces to stop them being mis-interpreted.
