Text markup and presentation seems like an end system
application. I can't see any advantage to having it done as
part of delivery. It would make a lot of sense to have the
marked-up text available for translation into several
different formats (pdf, word, html) even after the initial
delivery, so it does not seem like an OPES application.
Anti-spam, though, seems like a good OPES application. It
involves delivery, it involves using an existing protocol
(SMTP) embedded inside another protocol state machine, it
only needs to be done once as part of message delivery.
