Yet again Stroller, you seem to constantly miss the point.

I was not bashing Microsoft per se. I was bashing ANYONE who takes an  
open standard, modifies it with their own "features" and then wonders  
why it won't work properly with other software that follows the  
standard.

You really need to get off your "Microsoft on a pedestal" and  
understand what was said.

Microsoft was mentioned, so was Adobe, so was Apple and so were a few  
others.

All have been guilty of modifying "standards" with features and then  
complaining about interoperability issues.

Deal with it and move on. Microsoft is not perfect. And neither is  
Apple.

PS 	And just for the record, prove the following with something more  
than a throw away statement that is only your opinion.

- Observe how the MIME header says "plain text" and "format flowed"  
yet there's still a bunch of stuff in there that looks like a complete  
& utter mess, including html markup. There is no way on earth this is  
valid plain-text.
