Aww, what the heck. I'm in. :-}

Maybe it'd be better to just keep it plain text, but if that is the case, we'd have to make it clear that we don't want ">" marks scattered throughout it. You'd have to copy and paste the previous text into a new e-mail every time you added to it, and periodically it'd have to be archived as a text file on people's machines so that the e-mails didn't get too big. Maybe by chapters.

I don't have any kind of Word, and don't plan on changing that any time soon. Plain text would be best, I think, but if formatting is really a big deal for people, then I'd recommend doing it as an RTF. That should be compatible across just about every platform being used around here, I believe.
