IMHO, although the web browser cannot give you text styling, it should at least give you easy writing. Everytime when I use Outlook Express, when I type a misspelled word, and when Outlook Express underlines the misspelled word just like MS Word, I wonder why Internet Explorer cannot do that when I write email using my Hotmail account!

YESSS!!! Right. You get it. Hold on to that idea. It's important.

And about styled editing, it's an easy transition. If my server can handle styled text (it can) we could add an attribute to the tag saying "I Support Style". If the attribute isn't there don't allow style. <br><br><hr><b>There are responses to this message:</b><ul><li> <a href="msg007714.html">Re: Hidden failure of MSIE</a>, Joe Beda, 6/23/1999; 9:23:04 AM<p><li> <a href="msg007747.html">Re: Hidden failure of MSIE</a>, Sten Linnarsson, 6/23/1999; 2:34:57 PM<p></ul> <br><br><hr>This page was archived on 6/13/2001; 4:50:59 PM.<br><br>© Copyright 1998-2001 <a href="http://www.userland.com/">UserLand Software</a>, Inc. </blockquote></blockquote> </body> </html>
