OK, I'v ejust doe the next best thing but I'm not entirely certain how. Basically, I changed the default set of display fonts to match those of my site's body tag. Great. I now get Verdana 0.8em as standard for my display. Better than nothing.
Also, there's an option in the config file to have Paste As Text as the default method. This is handy for those who might be inlcined to use Ctrl-V for pasting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph R. B.
