It's a question of whether your MUA is set to display the text portion of a
message in preference to the HTML portion, or vice versa. This webmail
client is set to display HTML if an HTML portion exists (and it can't be set
to more sensible behavior AFAICT.)

My apologies for the inconvenience, "if any".
I have no control over whether your receiving-end MUA just displays
all text as plain text, vs. whether it pays attention to the
[html markup] stuff in the HTML version of the message.
I am (usually) sending messages from gmail.com,
and the little gizmo features they provide, for when composing
a message, do
allow for stuff like font size and
color,
and also stuff like bold, underlined, and italic. so YMMV...
("technically", gmail features offer only four font sizes: small,
normal, large, and HUGE; so I think that "half a dozen"

As for why I might sometimes
go overboard on trying to
make use of such features, (("just 'cause they are available")),
that is something that, I guess, I will have to ponder.
Maybe I have too much "free" time on my hands today?
(get it? - Independence Day... Free as in Freedom...)
I guess I should really try to watch it, especially when
writing for a wide and varied (& esteemed) audience...
