Okay, sorry for snapping. As I guess it's easy to figure, it was out of 
passing frustration.

I'll remove the bodies now. (Wow, I feel like a mobster.)

Yes, I think this is a good idea. But... yellow? :o)

Oh, one more thing. Try to use $(MACRO arg, arg) instead of 
HTML-specific tags. For example, to insert an anchor just say $(WEB 
foo.com, bar).

Give me a few minutes and I'll checkin. Shoo, if you could look into the 
Windows issue, that would be great. Thanks!
