    Outlook HTML email, at least in 2003 & Outlook XP, seriously stinks anyway.  I can never get any formatting to work right, it just doesn’t repond as you would expect.  Sometimes, no matter how hard you click the buttons (oh, I’ve clicked pretty hard!), it just won’t change the font size or whatever.  I haven’t a clue how to get to the actual code to see what it’s up to.

    As far as I’m concerned, HTML email stinks, at least in Outlook (the only place I’ve tried it).
