Well, I suppose if nobody in your organization used any of the features of MS-Word (vs what you get with Notepad), it would be pretty silly to spend all that money on it. But most people I know use plenty of the "extra" features of Word. I find that's not so with HTML email. Of course, I'm a function-over-form kinda guy; maybe you like getting email with multi-colored backgrounds and dancing hamsters and such.
