Why do you say that about RTF -- 'ever'? It's our companys standard, and the
initial cap feature works fine with RTF for everyone else. ???
Sender and recipient should be within the same Exchange organization and
both must be using Outlook.
No other e-mail client than Outlook can understand RTF. Users of other
e-mail clients, and that includes Outlook Express, will get your RTF
e-mail but as plain-text with a winmail.dat attachment that they cannot
use to restore the formatting as you composed it. Also, RTF can get
corrupted during transmission if interrogation of its contents results
in modifying those contents. This can happen when using e-mail
providers that slide in their spam promotional signature at the end of
your e-mails that use their freebie accounts, anti-spam programs that
insert content, etc.
While everyone at your company is required to use Outlook as their
e-mail client and they all go through the same Exchange server, that is
definitely not true for e-mails that you send to outsiders.
