Daniel, To which one answer would be that this is a WG of the W3C which stands for World Wide Web and it has no mandate to deal with email which has a completely different set of problems so whether or not HTML has a role outside W3C is not the concern of W3C or this WG therefore. Don't destroy HTML on the Web by making it usable as a way of sending email. Bob > > I think we miss one principle about the ubiquity of HTML. HTML is not > only used in web browsers.
