(And, as others have noted, you're also having trouble getting your mail 
software to give readable HTML output, as black-on-gray isn't very 
readable, at least not for most of us.)

What do you mean by "trouble" and "readable"?  Do you mean the output is 
hard to understand, or is complete garbage, or what?  What sort of 
output were you expecting, and how does the output you want differ? 
What command line options are you trying?

If you want the same detailed dissection of packets that you get in the 
middle pane in Ethereal, you have to use the "-V" flag in Tethereal.
