As you can (hopefully!) see above, this message is completely scrambled.
Normally that means HTML. But the headers suggest it is plain text.
Also, I see that Steve replied with a correctly formatted inclusion.

Did anyone else get the scrambled version?
And does anyone have any clues why I did?

(Using Thunderbird v31.8 and normally not having major issues.)
