   I don't know for certain.  But I have to say that the point package called   
   SemPoint for Windows had a really nice mode.  It used Windows fonts to   
   portray/display the actual styles on characters in FTN messages, in response   
   to the style codes.  It called the mode something like 'rich text'.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
