Each had its own purpose, time and place. Most people that I know, use them all. It is common for Exchange Server users with the heavy Outlook client to set their default to RTF and use the others on an as needed basis.
You do understand that under the hood, this is a silly question. Body part 3 or RFC defined message text is plain text by definition, and anything else almost always gets packaged as one of the following: MME, body part 14, or body part 15. Systems like Exchange/Outlook disguise that and make RTF look like regular message text. Except for this misleading display thing that is going on, it is really an apples and oranges comparison. -----Original Message----- From: Darrin J.

Hi, I wanted to get the groups opinion on the best message format to use in Outlook 98. Text/HTML or RTF. Any pros or cons regarding the types would be most helpful. The backend is Exchange 2000 with SP3.
