Rich text is platform specific. If you said HTML in your last statement then I would have probably agreed with you. But the fact is that too many people abuse it for it to be more necessary then it is annoying.

Even without word as an e-mail editor Outlook, the built in editor is quite capable of composing rich text messages. While this message is readable in pine, not every message I send is. Rich text absolutely has a place in communication. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 3:08 PM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Word as email editor - freezing Subject: RE: Word as email editor - freezing Ah true. But I bet you that his CEO doesn't realize how annoying his cutesy background, bolded, huge colored font and other little markup things are to the rest of the world. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 12:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Word as email editor - freezing Absolutely. I composed this message with Word as my e-mail editor and it's perfectly readable in pine or mail or Mail. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Hummert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 2:18 PM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Word as email editor - freezing Subject: RE: Word as email editor - freezing Do you deal with any people that don't use a windows based mail reader like pine? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 12:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Word as email editor - freezing I use word as my e-mail editor. Convince me that I don't need it....

Presented correctly, there's no good reason he'd (she?) need to continue using that setup. I bet with 5 minutes of conversation about perceived needs, you could get him to stop. Its worked for me on more than one occasion. Keep in mind that they pay you to be the expert on this stuff... -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
