Hello Thomas,
But HTML was never meant to be part of email, which at the time when
HTML was created didn't even know anything but plain text.
And, as you may know, the composition of Viagra was not meant for the

Hello Laura,
resistance is futile, html is here to stay.
Just like Coca-Cola and McDonald ;-)
MAU I never write/send HTML e-mail, and I don't think I will in
the MAU future. But if I implemented a filter like you intend
to, I would MAU probably loose abut 1/3 of my business e-mail.

Hello Spike,
Otherwise, as I stated earlier we would just have a re-written MS
Outhouse, and . . . why bother?
Not really. I haven't ever used Outlook, so I'm not familiar. But I
doubt it has the filtering and templates power (just to name a couple
of things) TB has.

Hello Thomas,
What kind of serious report needs highlighting by colour of font?
And what serious plain text e-mail needs to be viewed with an RTV
(Rick Text Viewer :) which can use different fonts and colours for odd
and even reply quotes, and for text, and for signature, etc. And yet,

Hello Paul,
I think they will probably stay away from it though, remember it
would add SEVER bloat to the program to add that much capability.
I disagree. Most of the code needed to add (a very good) newsreader
capability to TB is already there. Message base and folder management,

It is technically possible to filter on that, very much like an

Currently it is not possible to filter on attachment extensions,

Hello Jonathan,
This is true I guess, but it wouldn't be a few nano-seconds for large
attached emails. I get some in the range of 90-200meg sometimes, and
even just selecting and opening them can take some time.
I'm sure you have heard about FTP, haven't you? ;-)
