Hello, i'm having trouble getting tethereal to give me readable output,

(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.
