Tom,

Warning: Topical Promotion

That is why I've invented MTML, Meaningful Text Markup Language. This 
is my vapor-ware announcement. One of the key uses for my free to use 
reader is the ability to read books that have semantic/topical 
references that can be added by the reader. The free version is for 
distribution of published works but the $19.95 USD version allows the 
user to make unlimited sized original files. These files can be made up 
of important e-mails that you would like to gather and read at a later 
date. You can copy and then import each e-mail or text from a web-page 
as a new page in the Notebook. If you bookmark a page, use keyword 
search, or create a phrase based connection you will be able to gather 
and read topical information.

It would be possible to create a topical reference to a majority of the 
threads contributed to this list with this new tool. A beta testing 
version will be ready in about a month. There will be no manual and 
maybe no help section at that time but both of those things will be 
available when this thing is ready. I'm already using it to store 
web-page text & e-mails. I know that Dan Shafer has started posting 
topical threads of this list at his website. Perhaps someone will want 
to go through the archives of this list and create a referenced MTML 
Notebook file that all can use. The nice thing about this is changes 
can be made to it and additional threads can be added to it the more it 
gets used. MTML is an extensible hybrid HTML markup language. This 
allows the user to alter the markup being used to present pages without 
having to see the markup. In the publishing version several powerful 
DRM tools allow for safe cross-platform delivery of copyrighted eBooks 
& Journal articles.  ... </end of blab>
