- I just installed metamail on my SPARCstation 2. While generally happy
- with this, I noticed that metamail doesn't have a good method for
- displaying rich text format mail... It seems only to try to use that
- which is available with the standard shelltool/xterm/whatever... That
- leaves out color, italics, amongst others... Is ther anything better?
- Also, is the rich text format found on NeXT machines a broader format?
- It seems to have definitions for fonts & other things. Being that
- there exists all kinds of fancy text viewers (dvi viewers, postscript
- viewers, etc...) it would seems that there ought to be something
- better for rich text...
