I fear it has come to that already. I put CatDoc and VincED on the
wife's machine so she can decode all those .doc attachments her
computer illerate friends send her. I got tired of her forwarding them
to me, and having to do it myself and then email her back usable text
documents.

I still use moreHTML, a HYML text reader. It drops all the images, but
if it won't decode the HTML, rarely I send it to Aweb or IBrowse, but
usually just dump it. I like to be able to read HTML, but I would
never send it, unless it was a webpage for their review, and then I
would explain in the body what it was. moreHTML works just fine with
MicroDot II if you set up the mimes properly. I have to look as
OPENURL though, I have been using moreHTML since before OPENURL was
available.
