RE: Rich Text Format

hmmm... I wonder if you would want to send the file in HTML format... We've
done that in the past... he made the text green and the background black so
it looked like a green screen

FWIW

Subject: Rich Text Format


        Hi. 
        I am new to Java and have been a RPG programmer. A group of us
wrote a servlet application that archives our AS400 reports and allow
for printing. I have recently added email capability, this is ideal
since some of our clients will require pages of our reports emailed to
them. 
        The report is sent in the email as a .txt file attachment.
Viewing the attachment is great, however, printing is another thing.
Most of our reports are 132 columns. 
        Is there any way to format the attachment to print in landscape
and have the form feed done at the correct place without user
manipulation.  Someone told me about RTF. My investigations only show a
swing class that allows the user to edit such a file. 
        Is there any way to send the necessary report format that will
allow editing. 

Thanks.
