I was also confused by this. It’s literally writing the email in a text editor.

But this probably means that the poster has no knowledge of what the CSV format is. (which is sad to see that we created a system in which someone intelligent and tech-savy enough to pull out such a prank has no curiosity/background culture about very basic things in computers. Not to blame him, blaming the culture and the education)

Even though it's simple, it's a minor detail. I am unaware of many minor details in lots of things I use. It's not that I can't be bothered or I'm not curious, it just that it has never come up and there's lots more important stuff.
