I just installed metamail on my SPARCstation 2.  While generally happy
with this, I noticed that metamail doesn't have a good method for
displaying rich text format mail...  It seems only to try to use that
which is available with the standard shelltool/xterm/whatever...  That
leaves out color, italics, amongst others...  Is ther anything better?
Also, is the rich text format found on NeXT machines a broader format?
It seems to have definitions for fonts & other things.  Being that
there exists all kinds of fancy text viewers (dvi viewers, postscript
viewers, etc...) it would seems that there ought to be something
better for rich text...
