I'm not aware of any existing txt-browser that does this. When you find one, then tell me. Otherwise you have to script yourself. I'd be interested even in this (even if only to learn ;). > Are you serious about option 1? Why not? Generally it's good to have visual aids. However, the implementation varies, and I prefer a simple data format that works even without a dedicated visual aids interpreter (human readable): i.e. the way of aiding is not stored in the data itself but left up to the reader (the original www idea). A tool can perform its beefing-up well enough on this simple/ raw data, too, as mutt and other MUAs show. -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal!
