So this is what you do to display your data-frame in a plain text way.

Then this is what we, the readers, do to read in your data-frame so we 
are sure we have exactly the same as you had.

If you carry on posting in HTML it is possible that your e-mails will 
get scrambled so it would be best to post in plain text. It does not 
seem to have had a bad effect this time.
