That is the markup for a html message, the span/span tag tells the
rendering engine in OE/IE/Firefox/opera to apply the styles to everything
between those tags
B is bold /b end bold font size=(whatever) is use that font size
You can see it because you have enabled 'view as plain text' in your
settings, View as plain text is a good thing, html can include a lot of
nasty code
