That might work unless you are forced to use Lotus Notes or MS Outlook (like most people are, unfortunately), and as far as I know they don't handle it very well. And I doubt they would accept a patch from me. :-) > Well, positioning and formatting can be easily handled as: > > * Images can be pointed to using footnotes[1] > * _Underline_ > * *bold* > * /italic/ > * And of course this list, which demonstrates bullets. > > Some MUAs properly understand these conventions and convert them to > the appropriate formatting automagically. That sounds like something that could work.. KMail doesn't seem to do that though. And it will probably take a looong time until MS or Lotus decides to implement that.
