being able to switch display formats without delving into menus would be nice;some stations broadcast 16:9,some 4:3,some change depending on program.Having a button for that on the remote would be handy. My Magnavox 100TBMW9 doesn't have it.

Yes. Maybe not 50 cents, but I predict DTV converter boxes showing up at yard sales in the next year. And put out free by the curb the year after.

Outlook Express does not, contrary to your assertion, mangle long URLs.

I use OE. Have you ever seen one of my links "mangled?" Here's one, does it look (or act) botched in any way?

Not only does it _not_ look munged, it works just fine. I just tried it and I am using OE.
