tell your boss you don't have time for reformatting
his %$!@# mails because you have *work* to do!
if he wants you tos end better emails then this
will take *time* and this has to be *paid* for.

so you basically want him to not send you any mails?
well, show him that you can read the mails perfectly
with mutt and html does not bother you at all. and
let him find out that he is using a crappy mailer!

that's *all*?  tsk..

  set attibution="begin 666 quoted text of %boss"

"my mailer keep telling me that your mail
have attachments - but i don't see any!"
