We have hacks for this today? What do you mean by this, quirks?
People have been talking about this since the 2.4 days, but I have yet
to see any code for it. I'd love to see something be proposed, with
code, but note, you need to be aware of why it's been only talked about
for that long without any code being written :)
Why can't this be done in email?
thanks,
