[X4U] APPLE's Mail Program

[Christopher Collins]

Did you read this bit clearly??

"Microsoft and others"

The big difference here are the words "AND OTHERS". It was not aimed  
specifically at Microsoft but at Microsoft "AND OTHERS"  who believe  
they can take well known standards and "add their extra features" and  
then wonder why they don't work the way they should.

Those "OTHERS" can include Apple, Adobe, Commodore, Atari and any  
others you may wish to insert.

And to be fair. I've never had any problem with Mail and message  
formatting.
