Enquiring on behalf of my dear wife I've twice written to DORO
phones and received back emails that are not readable in any mail
client apps I have and that includes Thunderbird on the PC side.
Obviously was able to read them in a text editor or a Web browser,
but it's an email...
Perhaps some kind person might explain how a chap is supposed to
read the following email using a mail client app?

Looks like a pure HTML email. Totally non-standard (which says there
should also be a text version as well). But more and more are ignoring
that. Damn them. Especially as many are laced with tracking code.
I am suprised Thunderbird cannot read it - I am sure I have had
similar.
But as you are using Pluto, have you tried the HTML to Text facility?
If you search the Help manual (F6) for "html to text" (with quotes)
there is a page with that title. It is a bit simplistic, but may help.

One of my first ports of call is the Pluto HTML to Text
[Ctrl-Shift-G] facility... but in this instance nothing happens.

At the top of the posting is:

Content-Type: multipart/related;
boundary="----=_Part_8_1873492522.1613554518121"
Followed by a blank body.
That seems to me that either the headers are badly broken ... or Pluto
is. If you want to send me a zip of the complete original email from
the !PLUTO.backup.Mail... directory I will have a look.

Did you try highlighting just a chunk of the e-mail first,
before doing HTML to Text?
Holiday Inn and its associated companies frequently send me
e-mails with just one or two paragraphs that include HTML
markup, with the rest as more-or-less legible text (ie
legible, but not always comprehensible).
Highlighting the relevant para and then HTML to Text solves
the problem every time.

Hehehehe you are a caution Russell. :-) In my second
post I write,
Dreading the thought of having to get Win 10 at some stage

one is supposed to navigate the filing system on Win 10]
There is an obsession by app writers these day to use light grey
lettering (*) so not only is it sometimes difficult to see the text
but impossible to tell if it is active or as is traditional, greyed
out because the option is not available.
(*) I enquired about this and was informed Black text is assertive
and aggressive which upsets some people (Bloody snowflakes) so the
decision generally was to use shades of Grey.

... because dark grey text on a pale grey background is /sooooooo/ easy
to read, especially if age is catching up with your vision and your
eyes have problems with poor contrast...
Personal preferences I guess...
I have a light grey background to much of my stuff, Computer desktops,
Filer windows, Pluto windows backgrounds etc, but I must have Black text otherwise I can't see it properly.
