And, to second John Noerenberg's comment (and no, I'm not a shill, I just
happen to agree :-)), there's a LOT of HTML on the Internet nowadays.
Perhaps using an HTML subset as our "basic" rich text format makes more
sense now than it did two years ago.
I'll agree with this, despite being a long-time text/enriched fan. There
is one issue though that HTML doesn't address for mail yet. And that is
some equivalent of text/enriched's <excerpt> command which is a very
useful markup for typical mail and news messages. Please correct me if
I've missed a command in the HTML docs somewhere, or if the effect can be
simulated with combinations of other commands.
