The same as "HTML": Not plain text.

|I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand what HTML is
|
HyperText Markup Language (aka a Web page).
People shouldn't be mailing you Web pages.
(HTTP is similar to FTP--where it counts.)

...and I already told you HTML email is a way to get INFECTED.

The ORIGINAL concept of the Internet was:
A homogeneous network with a heterogeneous infrastructure.
That means **it's not supposed to matter what you are running**.

People who send email that can't be readily parsed with ANY email client
don't understand the basics of being online.
Email existed before there ever was a WWW
and email worked just fine before 
Microsoft screwed it up.

Assuming that you already have your screen adjusted optimally for your eyesight,
tell your correspondents to send you PLAIN TEXT ONLY.

...or buy a bigger monitor
and update your anti-malware apps daily and always leave them all running.

|and some other sites(the New York Post), because they are to wide for my screen.
|
It is possible for a Web developer WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING
to create a Web page that displays properly on EVERYONE'S screen.
It is obvious that the New York Post hired an idiot
...or the management there are idiots
who insist on making the page appear ONLY ONE WAY
--NOT what HTML was intended to do (again: *homogeneous*).
