I'd say this is generally a good idea unless you're in the situation of having to develop content-management tools wherein the users would be allowed ( or should be allowed ) to create html using the application ( usually with a wyziwyg editor ) ... If the content is ever liable to wind up in a non-html email, however, you may not want to htmleditformat before storing in the datasource. Also, if the data might be edited later, having htmleditformatted it will then repopulate the form with the htmledited content, which is good for preventing form fields from getting destroyed becuase somebody put a double-quote in a text field, but possibly bad if the data may then go into a non-html email again, since this may cause portions of that message to contain ugly html special characters...
