It's actually quite hard to do with the browser, because the standard specifications are not well-suited for either writing HTML or implementing it, so it's hard to see what abstractions might actually be needed or would work. --f46d0442808c4afa5d04f8b858b6 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
