MS Exchange and MS Mail, in MS's eternal wisdom, have automatically enabled
embedded formatting. This allows users to email each other with underlining,
fonts, bold, italics, etc. It does this with a formatting code section at
the end, which shows up as nasty codey stuff at the end.
Of course, Exchange/Mail users don't realize this is happening, and no one
else knows where the codey stuff is coming from.
 
Stupid MS. :P
