Edit mode in RTF items by default?

I've noticed that (in Outlook 2000) rich-text items (mails and posts)
are in edit mode by default when opened (whereas plain-text and HTML
items are not, and you have to go to Edit menu to switch them to edit
mode).
Is this a bug or a feature? What's so special about RTF?

That's just the way the RTF editor works.
