RTF is an MS proprietary, though unusually well-documented, format for pretty fonts and styles. It requires a word processor to read. Ken's document contained no styles that I could discern, won't be added to the ProFox list archives, and perhaps may even be unreadable by future generations of sociologists writing their dissertations on the cult that was FoxPro.
Our email medium here at Profox, otoh, is plain text. It appear fine in a browser, an email client, even emacs! I live in a 90 year old craftsman bungalow, ride a 28-year-old steel bicycle and wear geeky computer clothes from the 90s. I have nothing against quaint. Just noting it in passing.
