I agree with you on this.

A switch is good.

That's a matter of taste. I have HTML Autoview "off". I keep telling
my people in the office that HTML and Enriched was invented for
writing to their friends, but in business we use plain text. <g>
I like fixed width fonts, but I just cannot see TB under C-Win
displaying European characters with them. The problem is partly C-Win,
as in other Win versions TB can display the different character sets,
but partly TB, because Outlook, Netscape and Eudora display European
characters correctly, even under C-Win.
As we will not have the power to change C-Win, we will have to adapt.
I don't know whether it would bloat the programme. If not, just don't
use variable width if you don't want to. ;-)
