Indeed, I did.  And I do use it some times.  It is also the
only thing that can save me in such situations when people
send me crazy formatted emails.  But I guess I don't have
to say too much about it.  Without better display/rendering
engine in Emacs, it can never be compared with any of the
modern web browsers, even can't catch up with links[1] in
graphic mode.

Alright, I don't want to start a flame war.  I'm just a
normal user who doesn't have time and energy to contribute
to the Emacs community.  All I can do is writing down a few
sentences and hoping some nice devs who have time and energy
might take a look at it and say, `Geez, it's a good idea and
I can do it.'

That said, Emacs is still my favourite.
