Practically true so long as the discussion is limited to mail; Two possible misconceptions: 1: There was once an RFC about rich text procedures for mail. It wasn't used much and was nothing like HTM but it was called "Rich Text". I haven't seen it in 26 years. 2: There is a format for word processing called RTF - Rich Text Format. It pretty much belongs to Microsoft having been introduced to support the BASIC programming language before there was a Macintosh. MS WORD uses it in a "newer and better" version that last year's which is used by Apple's TextEdit..app. That RTF has nothing to do with HTML for the web and is never used in email except, perhaps, as the format of an attachment. -- --> Give me liberty or give me Obamacare <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
