I thought about that when I originally received the mails and indeed
tried it out in Entourage by hitting reply to those allegedly rich text
mails - but my Entourage strips all the rich text from the quote by default
leaving quotes as above with the > leader - so I presumed Kyle's Entourage
(mentioned in his headers) would do the same....

I can't find anything in Entourage which will allow me to see the raw
form and hence the formatting and that simply leaves me not knowing what it
is - plain text - html text - or rich text - that's if some clients have
rich text as a third option.
I hope you mean Lucida 14 - Lucinda 14 sounds like straying into Jerry
Lee Lewis territory. I may try Lucida - Monaco is not the prettiest by any
means...

I have no particular bias against any tech companies - software is good
or bad. Entourage is quite good - Excel is exactly what it says - excellent.
What does AFAIC stand for? I know the one with the k at the end.....
