You consider that "getting cute"? (And it's just ASCII. Calling it "us-ascii" is just someone being obnoxious.) > The traditions are a-changing, no? Sure. Go use a web-forum. Or perhaps send around virus-laden MSWord documents as attachments. Or html with embedded stylesheets, images, javascript, java applets, and activeX controls. Change should be for the better. Change for the sake of change alone is simply going on a power trip. -- Traditions can't be "modern", but must always be slightly outdated.
