Perhaps "will handle" might have been better. Yeah, I'm on Outlook right now too. Personal email uses Thunderbird on all platforms, while I often use Mulberry for work email unless I'm going to need to see my Exchange calendar.
Unfortunately, though, we didn't have a lot of option on the email system. We had been using sendmail and UWashington's IMAP daemon, but when the need for full integration and calendaring came along, Exchange was the option we were given. Sigh. However, both Thunderbird and Mulberry handle HTML emails just fine and are open source. -----Original Message----- From: Vermont Area Group of Unix Enthusiasts [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Brooks Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Being mean to Flint "correctly handle HTML emails" Is a matter of discussion on it's own. :-) Sent from my good-ole corporate testing box.

I wasn't a fan either, but the world seems to have pretty much embraced them.
