I'm sure its been brought up previously on the list but I personally don't
think that TTS is very practical due mostly to all the crap that gets
stuffed into emails these days.  How do you handle:

    RTF
    HTML
    Disclaimers
    Signatures (inc ascii art sigs)
    Virus scanner tags
    mispellings
    abbreviations and SMS type speech (CU L8R, ROFL), smilies
    quoted replies and nested quoted replies.
    hyperlinks

Sure you can do filters to handle some stuff but it seems to me to be a
never ending battle to keep filters current.
