Same. Interestingly enough, the process by which I viewed the plain text is no longer an option in my GMail client. Not sure where it went. Now I just have the normal view or the "view original" which shows the source code version. Not as clean as plain text For a workaround, after clicking on view original, in the address bar change the view from "om" to "dom" and it kicks it out as plain text. Don't know why gmail got rid of this feature.

Just recieved the following e-mail from Angus: I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your reply. I am Angus. I like Plain Text. And I am finally able to answer the age-old question: am I alone in the world, or do others also read the plain text email. No. And yes! As it can take time to reformat a plain text email after we complete the rest, we wished to see if our efforts are in vain. They are not! Once again, thank you for your response. It is greatly appreciated. I haven't received this email from Angus yet so thank you for sharing.

I tried playing around with the URL parameters and only succeeded in making Google paranoid enough to trigger a 2FA authentication.

I made it work with Gmail (is that the same as Google Inbox?). Added a "d" and it went right back to how it used to look in plaintext. Wish I just had my "garbled" option though.

My response email was a little more interesting and fun 😂. When I wrote member services about it, I titled the message with "Angus likes plain text" and in the message area I wrote " I bet he does".... this was my response and I am crying laughing.
"I was writing thank you from the bottom of my heart for your reply, however... I'm not so sure anymore!!! Is plain text a euphemism for something dirty? Enough so that you would gamble in favourite of me doing it?? You know what... I'm sure it isn't. I'm just reading too much into it...
*ahem*

Your response from Angus will inspire me to write a more entertaining message next time I respond to some hidden text!

Seems like today's e-mail is suggesting there may be more to find in the C&C video than the four novels.

Ya I saw that too JulytoNov, isn't that video old? I'd be really surprised that the video from a year ago still had something that nobody discovered...

I think today's email may be a tease for an upcoming video...

The latest email talks about a "video tutorial to ship with the box." Maybe they are referring to that video?

Very interesting... In summary, scrutinizing the video yields: 4 novels that don't seem to relate directly to any of the known puzzles. Also, I thought the email title was interesting: "Vibration is life." Google indicates another old-timey advertisement, but not one that's been published yet.

Man...I really hope they're not going to make me chase down an old Beta Max player
