With all due respect, my lord king, I would disagree. The
uploading of formatted text from a variety of word processing
programs is, IMO, a problem. Often, the control characters in
formatted text do astounding and unpleasant things to vt-series
terminals, when they don't just mangle the stuff on the screen.
Perhaps I am being a bit harsh on people who are new to the Net,
but creating ASCII versions of formatted texts is not difficult,
and they're usually much easier to upload, being smaller.

Vale!
