If someone would include HTML translation into standard comm programs then we 
could use HTML just like we used to use RIP in the pre 3.x days.
A programming friend of mine tells me that it is possible to create an HTML 
translation addon similar to the BBS Crash interface, etc. that would work 
with any comm program that allows external addons, but his plate is full 
right now and he didn't want to tackle it.
