    Recent email is impossible to read

    I just got an email titled "Fantastic Factions => 4 Tricks To Get The Most Out Of Your Villain Factions". It sounded interesting enough but the email itself isn't rendering properly. I'm using standard GMail via the web, so nothing crazy on my end. It appears this way on mobile as well.
