Sam,
Be a good boy and go to bed. It gets tiresome pointing out that you
don't know what your are talking about when you take up so much space.
1. The editor deals only with the block of text.
2. What you are referring to as "the internal editor" is a GUI, a form,
an HTP or AH file that just happens to use the editor to put text
in the body of the message.
3. Your hand-holding "walk through" is gratuitous, showing your
assumption that some of us have no idea how to use Arachne or
how to use a non-dozerwarez computer. IOW, it is purely insulting
to people like me, Clarence, Glenn, and most others on the list!
Go away! Some of us are working and you're cluttering the place up!
