Well, maybe it would be a bit of work.
XML would just be ideal for doing what we have been talking about though.
Is anyone working on XML-based email clients? ie. a client which could use a
DTD/Schema to allow you to send "intelligent" emails? I know a server would
be the next step, but a client version would be so useful.
Cheers,
Steven
