Hi Dave, my main concern about different rendering are the formatting characteres which can or cannot be removed depending on the client, and in this case the content changes which is a big problem (cf. my code pasting example). This is better if we force to display characters, as I mentionned in my last email. If the content is the same, things are better, but still putting different formatting is an issue: having the command line I've show before (ls `date + %Y-%m-%d`-*.xml) half in monospace, partly in bold is an issue, for readability, understanding and even accessibility. Yes some clients are doing that, but that's not because some client have a bad behaviour that we need to standardise - and then legitimate - it. Your smiling ":-)" rendered as graphic is a good example as I often rant against client changing that when I want to paste code. Combining messages without changing content, fonts etc is not an issue. Changing the content is an issue. Changing the style of part of the content may also be an issue in many case, even if it's alright in 80% of case.
