something that (in the case of Outlook) can be a total pain - get
someone to send you a mail in RTF or Word or HTML format and then view
it - you have to wait while it loads the modules to display the
different types and it can take quite a while (especially if you are
low on RAM or CPU power)
Based on the code I'm using, it is quicker to convert stuff to HTML on
the fly to display it rather than load new widgets/modules and it has
the advantage that all mails keep the same layout formats, unlike
Outlook that insists on displaying RTF and HTML mails with a variable
width font even if you have it set to display ASCII mails with a fixed
width font.
