Actually, the OP did *not* "post in HTML". However, people using
Outlook Express (presumably only the Windows version) were treated to
yet another one of its myriad bugs.
The bug was tickled by the OP's post having a "signature" in bogus
pseudo-HTML. The random taggery there called for a black background
that OE - ever so ready to display any "HTML" it can find - propagated
"upward" to the text of the OP's message. (OE users will have seen a
"blank" black portion, followed by a separating line in white, followed
by some text and an animated gif.)

Is that enough? Is there some option to disable all "stationery", or
whatever they call it? The relevant portions of the MIME structure of
the OP's post were:
Content-Type: Multipart/Mixed; Boundary=WebTV-Mail-20753-435
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit
Content-Disposition: Inline
X-WebTV-Stationery: Standard; BGColor=Black
--WebTV-Mail-20753-435
Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII

Hi, Three (3) weeks ago [etc.]
--WebTV-Mail-20753-435
Content-Description: signature
Content-Disposition: Inline
Content-Type: Text/HTML; Charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit
<html> [etc.]
--WebTV-Mail-20753-435--
Your posts, for example, don't have this header
X-WebTV-Stationery: Standard; BGColor=Black
which makes me wonder whether this too might have scrambled OE's puny
brain (since WebTV is now also part of Micro$oft.)

The reason his post showed up the way it did is because he has "real"
HTML code in his signature, which was enabled when he posted.

Yes, it's enough. The reason that I have a signature without anything
but text in it is because I have not put HTML code in it that adds a
color background, gifs, etc.
You'll have to trust me on this. This is how WebTV works. It's not a
computer. You can't always apply the same principles.
