Rich Text format messages can only be read by Outlook. If you send a Rich
Text message to someone who does not use Outlook, they will receive your
message with a .dat extension, which they will not be able to read. In
general, Rich Text format should only be used on a system that is working
with an Exchange server and the messages are only being sent to other
Exchange server users.
