My guess is that if they had used the IE APIs, they'd be opening
the system up to serious security compromises and viral infections
just like Outlook does, presumably the Windows API supports RTF text
controls, so it was probably the simplest way of implemnting a secure
rich text display - all semi-educated guess work of course!
