I read the list from the lists.v..c..f.org Web site, with an old version of Firefox Web browser. I am of course registered to the list but I have turned off email sends to me. This email was from my email client and constructed with correct To: and subject: "by hand". Never mind why I do this.
When I read on my Web browser, Tony Bogan's email message, Wed Nov 4 14:44:51 CET 2015, from the v...c..f site, my Web browser shows the usual previous/next/messages sorted stuff, the subject line and so on. The body of the message is only
An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <so and so/attachment.html> [as active link]
Upon clicking the link above, my browser does NOT show an HTML document, it shows the text content of the HTML document with of course HTML tags.
Now, oddly enough, when I download that HTML document and save it as a plain-text file with an HTML extension; and then "click" the file to display it under my same Web browser; the browser accepts the HTML tags and processes the HTML tags.
I make no comments as I'm not qualified. Others with more knowledge can do what I've done as a diagnostic if it's useful. And of course one can access the lists.v..c..f.org Web site to see messages, some of which they may not have received by email.
