Interesting. PDFs are attachments, seperate documents, and must not
contain the body of the mail. Let's continue this on TBOT.

I'm not so very sure of this, because they are one of the clients
sending me HTMLs mails, the formatting - and even colouring - of which
I need to preserve. The mailer is always Microsoft Exchange. Where do
you get your information?

Excuse me? What I'm asking for is a hook to the Windows HTML-editor
for those who want to use it, it wouldn't hurt you a bit. There is no
adultering, what are you talking about. And the current HTML editor
could be scrapped, so you should be even happier that TB! doesn't
carry this overhead any more. There is no excuse to using such strong
language for an option you personally wouldn't use.

Do you understand the meaning of the word "option"?

Then change your attitude, you still have time.
