On 28 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Steven sauntered in to netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news and loudly proclaimed:
> Hi all, > I'm having problems with Netscape/Mozilla mail viewing and composing. > When I open a news post or message that has one ore more levels of > quotes it often looks like Netsacpe/Mozilla tries to wrap the quoted text. Well, yes. What it looks like is that one or more or your correspondents is using OE; Moz seems to be picking up the badly-quoted text generated by OE. (NC 4.x seems to have similar problems.) > When respond to a message the message composer inserts extra lines > between paragraphs. This also happens when I copy and paste a word > or a phrase in the composer, an extra line is added. Is this how it should > work or is something wrong with my settings? It's pretty annoying! I'm not quite sure what you mean here. But I'm replying to this using Xnews right now, so I can't actually check. > When I save a draft of a message I am composing and reopen it later or > if I "edit as new" an existing message there is also extra lines between > the paragraphs and spaces before every quoted line. The message loses > the gray "quote marker line" before quoted text which is replaced with > "greater than" quote signs. The grey bar is a display characteristic; you won't see it if you're replying to or editing a plain-text message, tho' you will see it with HTML mail. > Also, I have set text wrap to 72 characters but if I don't insert returns > manually the text is not wrapped. Text wrap is there for newsreaders (such as this one) that don't support format=flowed. > Here's some screenshots that illustrate what happens: > http://www.sifre.demon.nl/test/message_mess.html > > Can anybody explain how al this should work and how best to fix it or > how to use it? As it is I find it all very unfriendly:-( Come, now, it's not /that/ bad, is it? Tell you what: Post to one of the user fora listed below (the n.p.m.* groups are actually for developer discussion) and we'll see if we can't get you straightened away. . . . /b. > Thanks, > > Steven -- Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to: snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32 snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
