i got one too - i was going to ask if anyone else minded that my

have to rewrite their webmail app)...

i like how the examples cited are crap-html/mime oriented (msn, 
exchange, and aol?)

"Walk with me through the Universe,
 And along the way see how all of us are Connected.
 Feast the eyes of your Soul,
 On the Love that abounds.
 In all places at once, seemingly endless,
 Like your own existence."
     - Stephen Hawking -
