Wm i do have several addons for Chrome:
Adblock Plus 1.4 Better History 1.9.38 BoogleMarks 0.0.19 Disconnect 5.1.0 Edit This Cookie 1.2.1 Fixed Width Text for Gmail™ 1.6 FreshStart Ghostery 4.1.1 makeup-lab 0.1.1 Minimalist for Everything 0.6.7 Scroll Marker 0.97 Swap My Cookies 0.2.2 Vimium 1.42 YAGBE >The only one affecting gMail is "fixed width" but i think that only affects the font, and the other behaviour is, as i remember, the same before and after adding it. >The advantage in long lines, and the benefit that it gives me, is that it prevents wrapping through to the next cycle. This is an inductive cycle. Before i had to laboriously reform every note, in every post, each time. Now i just do it once. It remains unbroken. It saves me a good hour every day:) But then i am fastidious about keeping a history of my email correspondence: one which stretches back to 1970, the first email group i was a member of was a Sociologist group exploring the (then) new medium of email at Project MAC. >Ah, i think i have found the mystery of the difference we are seeing! i do see a vertical line(s) enclosing all of the quoted material. Presumably that translates to >'s. i compose everything in a text editor and never suffer the peculiarities of the Chrome one. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: William Tanksley, Jr <[email protected]> reply-to: [email protected] to: [email protected] date: 15 May 2013 11:46 subject: Re: [Jchat] posting for the ages greg heil <[email protected]> wrote: >> How are you doing that? When i 'reply' gMail automatically includes the replied to text in a bottom post ... one could choose to edit or not, but nothing is added (no >'s anyway). i am using the plaintext interface... >I don't know why that's happening to you. That's normal when you 'forward', but I've never seen that when 'reply'ing. Normally, GMail wraps the lines of a reply before prefixing every line with '>'. (This wrapping behavior was disabled by a prefixed '>', which was your rather clever discovery.) >Are you using any of the Google Labs GMail extensions? (To see, click the icon of a gear in the upper right, choose 'Settings', and see if there's a 'Labs' blue tab along the top of the settings page. If not, you don't have any labs; if so, click on it and see if one of them might affect your replies.) >It may be why you keep using '>' as a long-paragraph prefix -- you don't realize how annoying it is to everyone else because your account behaves differently. (If I haven't been clear before I apologize. I've been trying to provide constructive feedback on the annoyance your experiment with '>' causes me. I'm not sure exactly why you're still doing it, since you never actually said why... Your only justification has been that it's an experiment, but I'm not sure why an experiment with such dismal results would still be ongoing -- you have 2 complaints and 0 described benefits.) >As a side comment, I'm also seeing what Raul saw -- your '>' no longer seem to stop the lines from wrapping. -Wm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
