That isn't a 'one day' thing. I plan to incorporate understanding of HTML
from day 1, and have configuration that allows people to select what HTML
elements get displayed.
There will also be a header handler, so if you email a file/program to
another QLer, the file can be saved on their system with header.

Since this is email for those with ethernet, and ethernet would be highly
unsatisfactory on a <20MHz machine, I don't think it s TOO important to
serve that group. I do plan that keypresses will work, and the key labels
on screen (bottom two lines, just like pine) will also be clickable.

In a way I am lucky. You have all been playing with these goodies for
years, and here I am, back after a 12 year absense, and there's all this
new stuff!
Ok, back to work.
