That's true of me, too, although I don't think I'd go so far as saying
incompatible with everyone else. Wordmail takes advantage of MIME which
can handle RTF encapsulation. Most readers don't understand that kind of
content encoding (they do understand MIME usually, though) and leave the
MIME stream as an attachment called winmail.dat. The problem with it, of
course, is that if you meant to send an attachment, it's stuck inside
winmail.dat as well.
The Lotus Notes problems with MIME encapsulation are also legendary.
I've just fallen back to the idea that if I want to view color and
ransom notes I'll do it someplace other than email.<g>
