RTF does handle graphics. But to a certain extent it suffers the same
problems that HTML has. It is presented differently by different programs.
As an example, when my printer was out of action, i sent a RTF file to a
local small print shop in an e-mail. They have handled DOC format for me in
the past. The result was i lost my embedded graphics in the printed version
and had a overly huge space on the page instead... damn.
