Format Test

[Joseph Bento]

I agree.  Of course not all mail programs understand all formats, but  
HTML and rich text have become pretty standard regardless of operating  
system or platform.

Some people do talk as though they have to download their mail over a  
300 baud modem at $3 a minute toll.
