The Mailtext package (consisting of the class Mailtext.mcc and the MUI-3
prefs-plugin Mailtext.mcp) may be used as a substitution for MUI's
Floattext class to handle font attributes in electronic messages, i.e.
*bold*, /italics/, _underline_ and #coloured#. If it finds these
attributes, the text between them will be displayed with this attribute.

Mailtext may also highlight quoted textpassages introduced by a given set
of quotecharacters.

Mailtext works with muimaster.library v17 (MUI v3.6) and above.

The Mailtext package is written and © 1996 by Olaf Peters and may be freely
distributed.

Developer's info is ONLY available on request from the author, Olaf Peters.
