     Yeah, I think most of the snazzy modern email clients do
this.  For example, when I see my posts, my email address and
www URL are always turned into links by my client, which
recognizes the HTML codes marking them (that much HTML is
probably safe to send people--since really I'm sending plain
text which happens to burst into parseable HTML very briefly :)

     That and the ability to attach files are probably the only
two actually useful features I've seen added to email clients
since the unixmail days of blessed memory :)

     But once I can use and safely send plain text Unicode,
_then_ we'll be getting somewhere .... :)

Cheers,
Carl
