We can only send emails using a limited number of clients (Mail, Entourage, and 
Mailsmith). This is because we have to target each client specifically using 
AppleScript specific for that client. So we can only target the email clients 
for which we (or someone whose code we can copy) know their AppleScript 
support. You should realize that there is no generic method to send email using 
an arbitrary email client, except perhaps if you just want to send plain text. 
(There does exist a protocol for that, but AFAIK there does not exist a single 
email client that supports it beyond the minimum, so i's useless for our 
purposes.)

I don't see that problem. We also for sure don't set any text attributes in the 
mail. So you must have some weird preference set somewhere.
