 The Email Essential's Newsletter is running a survey on the email
 software that people are using.  TB! is missing from the list of
 options, although you can add it under Other (perhaps this will make
 it appear as an option if enough people name it).

The votes are in.  7,147 votes were submitted in total, and the
results, in summary, are:

Outlook 2003 - 28%
Outlook Express 6 - 15%
Thunderbird - 13%

The Bat! came in at 1%

The votes may be more a reflection of the readership of Email
Essentials - the use of Outlook 2003 (so the most recent version of
Office) and the high percentage use of Thunderbird suggests that the
7,147 may not be a representative sample, although I could be wrong on
that.

You can read more about Email Essentials, and probably read the
newsletter with the results (EE #3.14 - Reader poll results) on

 Hi TBUDL'ers,

 How do I prevent TB! from inserting an empty space line between
 paragraph quotations in replies? This is what it looks like:

 ---

 ...snip...

 What do you want it to look like?



Just like the above quote :-) Meaning all the quoted text has at least
a  before it and TB! does not add additional empty lines.

I think I have two separate issues here.
1) Empty lines were not preceded by a . At first this gives the
impression of TB! adding additional lines but it's just a case where
it did not include the . This can be fixed with the
%QuoteEmptyLines macro (thanks MAU!).

2) Empty lines (with no ) are *added* at the end of paragraphs. I
could not reproduce this with messages I send to myself. It only
happens with a certain user. It has X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook
Express 6.00.2800.1158 on the headers. Could this have anything to do
with it?

As far as I could tell, there is a space character in the empty line
that separates the original paragraphs.

Sentence of first paragraph.
 = this is a space character
Next paragraph starts.

The above when quoted is transformed into this:

Sentence of first paragraph.

 = this is a space character

Next paragraph starts.

... and I want it to look like this:

Sentence of first paragraph.
 = this is a space character
Next paragraph starts.

Could any of the following be the cause of this?

Wrap text at 70 characters
Quote name limit 20 characters

And only the following are checked:
Smart Wrapping of quoted text

Auto-wrap
ŽSmartŽtabs
Auto indent
Backspace unindents
Find text at cursor

Overwrite blocks
