I tried it, and it works flawlessly. Then I saw that sometimes I 
included E-Mail-Texts, and these look quite nice if displayed as 
RichText. So this would be another pro for RichText.

There are two minor issues: String.FromHTML() leaves a trailing LF and 
double LFs within the text. So I included a String.Mid(..., 2) and 
Replace(..., "\n\n", "\n"). That leaves perfect plain UTF-8 texts in a 
TextArea.
