It doesn't come through on the Web interface, though it works fine on my  
Web browser's integrated news reader.

I noticed that your news poster, "MSHTML" (I wonder who that is?), makes  
copious use of the <font> element.  <font> was officially declared  
unseemly at least 10 years ago, and no less that Micro$oft explained part  
of the problem in a brilliant article:

    http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/designer/face7.htm

I love large corporations that practice what they preach.  Good thing that  
Web browsers are maintaining, uh... (subtracts in head), 19 years of  
backwards compatibility, and keep tabs on each other so that, say, Opera  
knows how MSHTML formats its attachments.  Alas, povray.org's software  
doesn't.  (Just continue using plain text and avoid the whole mess.)
