It has a lot of text hidden by { display: none; }.  Select all the text you see
in the bullet list.  Copy.  Go to a new mail message, a compose window, or a
window in your favorite editor.  Paste.

Wow!  What is all that stuff?  Very surprising to the user.  All the hidden text
is copied.  Copy should not include stuff that was originally hidden with
display: none.  What you see is what you should get.
