Agreed. Outlook only becomes somewhat usable when you force it to convert all email to plain-text and then it still screws with line length and removes line breaks that it determines to be "extra". On a side note, the person who dreamed up HTML and RTF email needs to be drawn and quartered. If it can't be expressed clearly in plain-text, then you should send it as an attachment. fpsm _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
