Thanks Pottster. That "fixed' it for now but this is a rather defective behavior if I understand it.
The text limit is somewhat arbitrary and I don't see that as an excuse for MLO ignoring it's own switches. Especially as that is the format that MLO help dictates: switches at the end of the entry. I see no way to denote separately/manually what is supposed to be a note and so it seems either I have to - have the limit set arbitrarily high to make sure my switches are parsed (and basically prevent anything from ever being entered into the Note field - lose the ability to use parsing or deal with questionable/flaky parsing behaviors. Am I missing something or is does this really need to be fixed? For the record this issue has bothered me for many many many moons and I just 'worked around' it manually. That it's hidden in this way (the RTE results box shows the whole item as a 'note' regardless of it it actually is one or not so you can't tell) is both silly and frustrating.
