I differ slightly with you here, Jeanne. I think it is fine to say
something like Rev renders a sub-set of HTML on its own, but even
the way it doesn't handle links (which is so easy in Rev that
it's obvious it could be fixed if there were a priority here)

This sounds like a great idea - - however I must be doing something wrong. If I go into the messagebox and type:
put URL "http://www.runrev.com/index.html" into temp
put "temp = " temp
I get no results. I tried a bunch of other URLs like (http://www.apple.com) and didn't get anything either.
Are you using the multiline message box? It's probably best to try it
