Actually, RTF is Rich Text Format, which is a generic word processing
format created by Microsoft, very similar to XML, but at least a
decade older. When used in Outlook (configured in Corporate mode) on
an email system that uses Exchange Server, you can actually send
emails to other people on the network using RTF. If the email goes out
to the internet, and/or Outlook is not in Corporate mode, then HTML is
used instead.
As I recall, Outlook Express offers "RTF" or Text, but it REALLY means
HTML, not RTF.
Typical Microsoft confusion.
