As you have guessed, I'm not going to launch WordPad from my application
when I need to do such a conversion :)
Dynamic creation of "fake" TRichEdit component, filling it with incoming RTF
stream, removing the formatting  and saving the result came to my mind
first, by seemed to be a little bit non-elegant... I guessed that there may
be direct calls to some WIN API functions an/or some other ways to perform
conversion...
What I actually need is filling some fields of TListView with first
non-blank lines of incoming ICQ messages which may be in RTF. It should be
done quickly and efficiently...
