Is it a dead RFC? > > Thanks, > --jim according to wikipedia (no citation): As of 2012, enriched text remained almost unknown in e-mail traffic, while HTML e-mail is widely used. the latest rfc is rfc1896 from 1996 in the legacy stream. it sounds deadish. but my sister was using it with eudora3 until a few months ago (believe it or not). the last text/enriched email i have in my inbox was from 22 Apr 2009 (i started translated them automatically upon arrival to plain text so i probably received some since then) and mutt definitely still knows what it is and renders it sensibly. at least my Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) on my ubuntu-11.04 system at home can render it but my Mutt 1.5.20 (2009-06-14) on a debian-6.0 system doesn't render it at all. that's odd. they have the same compile options but different patches. according to http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html, mutt supports text/enriched internally so it should always work. cheers, raf -- .
