Hotmail does, true...but leave it on Plain Text, and it sits there, waiting for
you to want to reply to an email - whereupon it presents you with a reply box
full of illegible symbols and letters. (solution - convert to Rich Text, back
out to the email, hit Reply again*, and re-convert to Plain Text).
* = not Send; this is an easy mistake to make, believe me.
