Tim.
Better than that, the default seems to be text and the only other alternative is UTF-8
This for me demonstrates why Microsoft still don't get it.
HTML allows loads of "cool" features like being able to set a fancy background to your email, having an animated company logo in your sig etc etc...They can't see past those features and understand why you would want to format your communications any other way and therefore why offer anything other than the default HTML (which in their eyes is so obviously superior that it would be a waste of code to offer anything else)
It's not an anti-Microsoft rant, more that I am beginning to believe that some of the things we put down to anti-competitive behaviour are simply incompetence.
