What kind of an argument is this? The same reviewers always tell us how bad and unsecure HTML messages are, so why should it be *necessary* to have the feature to *create* them? So much for the specific argument. Now, what kind of argument is it anyway? I know of a lot of software that doesn't offer the ability to create HTML files. Some programmers obviously think HTML necessary. But why on earth should CorelDraw, Word or Paradox need it? And all of them create "bad" code, in the case of Word it is bloated and sometimes even proprietary, Corel's is bloated and Paradox's is just plain unusable and funny.* To get back on track: Critics will always find something to criticize, someone once asked - jokingly - why TB! can't make a decent cup of coffee (actually it can). I don't need one programme which does it *all*. It is much easier to use a programme that does what it should do and no more. If I need HTML to convey something I can write a file in various programmes and attach it to a message. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/25 on Windows 95 4.0 67306684 C Peace: In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.
