For those not aware, Rich Text or .rtf is a Microsoft derived universal file 
structure to permit formatted file interchange between various Windows and Mac 
OS based word peocessing programs -- including those of third party vendors.  
As Commodore became a defunct operating system early on in the computer game, 
no .rtf version was ever written for it.

 Geez "rich text" what in the heck is that??   I am still useing
 a Commodore128 only for the internet.   I have several word processors
 but none offer "rich text", just run of the mill ASCII as far as
 the internet is concerned or known as .txt in the IBM world.
 This old Commodore has its OS entirely in a ROM chip, so it
 literally eats virus' alive!!!   I was hopeing that he would
 accept the article in the universal ASCII text right in the
 msg body so no need attachments and no need to treat it
 gingerly.  Just about anything from notepad to WINXP can handle
 that stuff.    Thats the way I submit stuff for the
 Commodore club.
