Hi Ottar,

I know what you're saying. I'll never (and I mean never) use it
myself, but I can see the requirement.

"Sadly" is about how many people go over the top as soon as they get
their hands on rich text formatting. Suddenly everyone's sending HTML
mails (and it is HTML mail we're talking about here, not merely RTF,
which is at the same time both a proprietary and a widely variant
standard). That's sad - I'd rather it didn't have to be encouraged.

At the same time, as I say, I see the need.

The even bigger need here is the need to get a tick in the "features"
column in comparative reviews. That one I can't argue with, not for
one second <g>.
