I assume you are using some sort of VB wigit to display RTF files.

Guess what feature wxWindows doesn't have (yet) :-(

RTF is still a good option, IMHO, because we can use Word in Windows/Mac 
and AbiWord in Linux, but it will have to be run as separate program, it
can't be 'embedded' in GNUMed, AFAIK.

Another option is to edit the letter body as plain text, which is inserted
into an HTML letter template. (wx can print and show HTML, of course)
