I disagree strongly with any acceptance, stated or implied that
html is suitable for email. It's another MS corruption of everything
that is good and decent. When I get html I corrupt the file so it just
looks the same but cannot work and send it back to source.

If html in email is accepted the next damn thing would be MSWord docs.

What integration?. It is a stand alone program and has no connection at all
with the other Netconnect programs, except that it comes from a common
source.

Export to a browser is the same from any program that has MIME types
or even an Arexx port.

There are several that work perfectly. I think OPENURL is an essential
starting point. However the only correct place to export html
documents is back to source with rude comments. Tell themn if you
wanted bloody html you would go to bloody www.

Is E-cards tha same as V-Cards? That's just more MS crap that the
world doesn't need.
