He's using Outlook Express 4.

Outlook Express 4 (configured a certain way) generates email messages that
Netscape (what you're using) incorrectly parses and thus can't display
properly.  I can sorta see the message in Pine; a screenshot is at

OE4 needs to be reconfigured; I'm not sure how to do that.  He (Gary
Martin) could also try Outlook Express 5.  It's a free download, and can
use OE4 mailboxes, so Gary (theoretically) isn't out anything.  It
generates messages more correctly, from what I've seen.

To more directly answer your question: either you need a new mail client
(imo there aren't many decent ones, I'm afraid) or it's all in Gary's
hands.
