Does it still only understand a very limited amount of RTF? Didn't they
do something about some of the really huge problems they used to have in
their RTF support? Might want to check and see if they have improved it
for 2.0 before complaining and I expect Caolan Mc Namara would do what he
could to help us out if things were still seriously broken like they used
to be. Wouldn't want to use the stick unless the carrot had already
failed. (Carrots, Honey, mixed metaphors and a tasty recipe.)
