Once upon a time, Palatino was my BFF for typefacing. I think it got dropped from the Word bundle at some point, and I moved on. (It’s back in there for Word 03, but the glow is gone.)

Glad to hear someone else anti-HTML in email. And we wonder why spam/phishing spreads so relentlessly.

Download it from OpenOffice.org. It's worked with every Word, Excel and PowerPoint document I've fed it.

I’m wiping tears of laughter from my eyes. The riduculousness of the whole construct aside, the typefaces chosen are hilarious. This is like asking people which they find more pleasing…
1. a puppy
2. a puppy being run over
3. a puppy on fire.

Ditto on HTML in regular email. BTW, who the hell sends you a newsletter as a Word doc? Really?! I have a new tirade to work on. :)
