It uses XML as it's message format so rich text & html etc. all possible as well as much other stuff - I think the buzz word is "extensible". It's open source (I couldn't find which license but it says open source all over the place and VA-Linux is something to do with it). -- Best regards, matt mailto:matt@proweb.co.uk
