- Click link in email
- Go to the job noted in email and click on link

- Paste into Word document. Awesome! All done now, right? Nope. They use some shitty, barely readable gray-scaled font that their stupid designer thought would look pretty but didn't consider, again, any impact whatsoever on the end user, so you ...
- Select all text
- Click on font color (auto) to make it black. And now you're ready to ...
