Dear Microsoft

Plain Text is Not Rich Text

Plain text is not rich text, so why does the edit control in Outlook Express behave like it is?

I mean, it's nice that you're trying to be helpful in maintaining the styling of text that I copy and paste into my e-mail, but that's more than unnecessary when I'm pasting into a plain text message. Not only will the pretty formatting be lost when I send the e-mail, but it distracts me from my writing. ASCII art just doesn't look as good in a variable-width font.

What's the point? Encouraging a cross-grade to Outlook? You must be kidding.
