BTW, the one reason I think HTML might be good for email is to
emphasize words. I have always gotten around this by *highlighting*
words with asterisks but that's clumsy. I would glady accept 60 extra
bytes per message for the ability to use bold or underline or
italics. But again, I want the HTML done efficiently.
