You are both right.  The content *is* duplicated in the
mail that the lookup server sees, but mail programs are
supposed to see the text-and-html as either-or, not and.
The lookup server's mail processing is fairly primitive.

I'm just curious: why not use the web search, which has
better response times anyway?

If you want text output you can insert fmt=text& in the URL:
http://oeis.org/search?fmt=text&q=1,2,3,6,11,23,47
