Dear Tim, @19-Feb-2008, 21:51 -0700 (20-Feb 04:51 here) Tim Hamm [TH] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Sam: TH For instance, if I click on create a new message, Hello , is in plain TH text and my salutation and e-mail address are in HTML and my TH salutation is grayed out. Regardless of that, you are still top-posting. That means your typing is all at the top of the mail and the context quotes are hidden below that. The fact that it is also below your signature makes it worse. Please adopt the habit, when writing to the TB lists, of writing *beneath* any quoted text and also trimming those quotes only to the actual text you are replying to. It makes messages much easier and quicker to read. The appearance of the quotes below your signature makes your posts nigh on impossible to follow. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v4.0.14.3 on Windows Vista 6.0.6000 ' pgpAXZkeHQaJC.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.14.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Can't add words to the spell check dictionary
Batfolk, I am having a problem adding words to the spell checker dictionary. It works fine as long as I have American English selected as the language, and it works if I have both American and British English selected, but not if I have only British English selected. I also note that the default dictionary to add word to is accent.tlx rather than userdic.tlx which is, I believe, the one that should be used. I am using the SSCE spell checker. I have no idea how to use either or the other options since I can't find any information about them, so I can't test to see whether the problem extends to these. Anyone else experience this problem? Or have any ideas how to resolve it?

Your example definitely appears to have the JK quoted material following the signature, where the old default JK templates put it at the top of the reply. Looks to me as if the JK new version may have changed all the templates! If not that, then JK the program is not processing the template properly now. No, the templates are still processed correctly and have not been changed. What Tim did was put the %Quotes macro under the signature. This didn't change the font in the old plaintext viewer, but does in the new viewer paradigm. He can still set the signature text to the same font as the main text, but better (on the TB lists) is to follow the rules and not top-post. JK This thread and a few others has solidified my decision to remain JK with version 3.85. It ain't broke (for me) so I see no need to fix JK it (and lots of reason NOT to)... I actually like the new Viewer Profiles. They are easy to set up, and once you've done that, you can switch on the fly. Rather than having only two setting for fonts as previously (plaintext and HTML), we can now set as many as we like. Setting up a new profile is as easy as in the HTML (richtext) viewer previously. What other reasons do you see not to upgrade? I mean, if you are happy with 3.85, that's fine. But you say there are reasons not to upgrade, so I am curious. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Hello Roelof, I'm sorry for being so stupid, but I have to ask you to explain this to me again... before replying to your e-mail I noticed that all the text above your signature delimiter shows up as plain text and everything below is Italics and grayed out. And this strange phenomenon shows up regardless if I create a new message, reply to one or just simply view your message as it sits in my inbox. How do I get the text to all look the same.

Hello Tim, TH text above your signature delimiter shows up as plain text and TH everything below is Italics and grayed out. I've outlined instructions on changing the appearance of signature text in an earlier response to you mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. I've included them here again: JO Traditionally, signatures are gray text on a white background, but JO this can be adjusted to any other color setting you'd like by JO going to Options (from main window) - Preferences - JO Viewer/Editor - Message Viewer/Editor. Choose Signature Text in JO the Item pull-down/pop-up list, and then edit the style JO according to your liking. Using that dialog, you should be able to change the signature's formatting, from the font face, size, modifiers (bold/italic), and foreground/background colors.

Hello James, JO Using that dialog, you should be able to change the signature's JO formatting, from the font face, size, modifiers (bold/italic), and JO foreground/background colors. Well, I don't think formatting is the right word if you want to avoid confusion here... To be more exact, it is the way how plain text messages are *displayed* that can be changed. Meanwhile, the format used remains the same (plain text). -- Best regards, Stefan Current version is 4.0.14.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
