Google Maps used to do this bit where when you hit the "Print" link, what would be sent to the printer wasn't exactly what you had on the screen, but rather a differently-formatted version of mostly the same information. It appears that they've largely moved away from this concept (I guess people didn't understand it) and most websites...

Does anyone know of a .NET library that will process HTML e-mails and can be used to trim out the reply-chain? It needs to be able to accept HTML -or- text mails and then trim out everything but the actual response, removing the trail of messages that are not original content.

Is it possible to get the x,y coordinates of a Flex app within an HTML page?
