Despite being essentially an email purist at heart, I'm all in
favour of this and would love it if TB could do it. I guess that
it would make wrapping a bit "interesting" to compute :-) ...

I remember there was a (ZConnect/UU) Mailer on the Amiga called "MicroDot"
that allowed "interpretation" of these text styles, ie. words in /slashes/
were shown on-screen as italics.

I always found that very nice. Seeing that you type that way - can this
"text styling" be achieved with TB?

In the current release, the latter is the case. There is a new HTML
editor in the latest beta versions for release 1.63. These are still
a little raw yet and may not be suitable for a less experienced
user.

Many here will have a lot to say against the practice of doubling or
tripling the size of a message /merely/ to italicise or to
*emphasize* text, an effect which _can_ be achieved without that
kind of overhead ;-).

Hello, I just joined the mailing list

2003-06-30 Thread Elatia Grimshaw
I joined the mailing list because I like this program, but have a
question about it and couldn't find anything on the site or in the
help file.

Is there ANY way to create HTML emails (with bold, italics,
underlines, colors, etc) with The Bat, or does it only allow you to
make plain text email?

If so that's fine, I'm just curious is all.
