My main problem is trying to get my wife to send plain text email from Apple's OS X mail application. All I ever get is three lines of text in a 300 kB file that's mostly irrelevant HTML css scripts. Between us we haven't found a button that sends only ASCII. Actually much of the data originates at the iTunes store and all I want is the amount to be entered into my Excel finance worksheet. A copy and paste from an iTunes receipt is to be avoided. But "RTF" in Apple's email terminology definitely means HTML. RTF, as used by TextEdit is entirely different and is an older version of Microsoft's RTF which originated in the BASIC compiler and now has morphed into something that TextEdit and older versions of WORD can't read. There is another RTF format that was once used in email. There is an RFC about it but I haven's seen an email in that format since Al Gore invented the internet. -- --> The corporate income tax is a sales tax collected, on behalf of the government, through price increases.
