- Just out of curiosity, what specific reasons are driving you to create a
- view class instead of embedding a text part?
-
- I can think of a few reasons to use an embedded part:
- Users could choose their favorite text editor,
- Your part is smaller,
- Embedded part handles drag&drop, scrolling, spell-checking, etc, all by itself.
-
- On the minus side, communication might be more difficult.

- P.S. Are people sending styled-text messages lately, or does Cyberdog's
- mailer really insist on sending out plain-text messages as two-part
- multipart?
