[at-l] Odd stuff in posts ...

Further Clarification -  I know this is a bit picky, but in the computer
world format assumptions can cause all kinds of problems.
 
RTF = Rich Text Format - Not specifically Microsoft though used extensively
by Microsoft. Used originally as a medium for transferring documents between
different word processors.  
 
RFT = Revisable Form Text or Revisable Format Text - or Final Form Text in
the Non Editable Version (IBM DisplayWrite 4.0-5.1)
 
Each has a different specification and are not interchangeable. I know of no
email programs that support RFT but many understand RTF.

2) RTF does stand for Rich Text Format, or at least it does in several
thousand pages of documentation on my computer. 
RTF is Rich Text Format if you live in the land of Microsoft
RTF is Revisable Text Format if you live in the IBM world.
 
In both cases it is similar to HTML but procedural rather than declarative.
It is a pure ASCII representation - no binary.
