Auto-wrap
Greetings Batties, For reasons I'm unable to discern my HTML replies (and probably other things) don't auto-wrap until they're beyond the edge of the screen. I'd like to get each line of a paragraph to wrap somewhere before the edge of the screen. Where should I look to set this? I defer to the vastly superior knowledge on this list. -- TIA, Jack LaRosa Alabama, USA Using The Bat! ver: 4.2.44.2.

Auto wrap problem
I want to go on line when my text is out of the window editor when composing a new mail. I know the feature AutoWrap in TB. But it put a line feed code in my text and if I copy it in winword for example, I had to kill all line feed characters (chr10 chr13). The thing I want is a virtual line feed just like in notepad or winword, that go on the next line when the text will go out of the window, but that doesn't edit or insert any code of wrap in the text... Possible to param TB like that ? (in plain text, not HTML) Thanks -- WilWilWil (France) [EMAIL PROTECTED] TB 2.12.00 Windows XP Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Auto wrap
Hi, actually I am using keys ALT+J to reformat message text at about 80 chars. I need this because most users are using outlook (I suppose) and when I reply mails I see their text on very long lines... Is there any way to say : TheBat! when I reply a message, please after you have quoted it, auto wrap original message at about 80 chars also . Is it possible ? Thanks ! -- Ciao Fabio Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Fabio, On Fri, 10 Jan 2003 22:26:44 +0100GMT (10-1-03, 22:26 +0100GMT, where I live), you wrote: F Is there any way to say : TheBat! when I reply a message, please F after you have quoted it, auto wrap original message at about 80 chars F also . You could use %wrapped=%quotes, though that only works for a 1 paragraph message.

I F don't know how to use quick templates :-(( It's rather easy. You can create quick templates via the menu: Options - Quick Templates - Add What the templates themselves are concerned, just copy and paste them from the website into a quick template: The first template is: =[ Begin wq ]= %COMMENT=%QUOTES%- %QINCLUDE=wrap2 %COMMENT= =[ End wq ]= Copy everything (three linmes) between the two line into a new quick template. You have to name the quick template, but you don't just pick a name, you use the one that's given on the website. After all it says 'Begin wq' and 'End wq', so the name of the quick template is 'wq'. The same applies to the second quick template, called wrap2. As easy as that. Now in stead of using the %quotes macro in your normal templates, you call this recursive set of quick templates, by calling wq. You do that with the macro %qinclude=wq. Replace the %quotes macro in the default template with %qinclude=wq and you're done. As easy as that. Good hunting. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You appear to be using the current version or later, so the
templates do work if you have them as written in the library.

don't retype it), we can't help you.
Ok, here goes - direct copy and paste:

Re: Auto wrap reply madness!
This is my first foray into quick templates, so go easy :). Has anyone successfully used the rewrap template found here?: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#rewrap My guess is no - I think it's because a single-quotation mark is missing in that particular template. Quoting the third line in wrap2: %REGEXPMATCH=%COMMENT'':'%- It seems to me that it should be: %REGEXPMATCH=%COMMENT''':'%- ^ ^ I'm sure people got a similar template working, as there are several versions floating around. Thomas F pointed out previously that the one I had was ever so slightly different from this one. So, if I am right, could one of the moderators fix that template? And if I am wrong, somebody please correct me! I imagine this is highly likely since someone must have just copied and pasted a working template. -- Ravi TB! v1.62/Beta5 on Windows XP icq: 196180805.1.2600 Service Pack 1 aim/msn/yim: r2maharaon a Pentium 233 MHz http://shell-shocked.tk with 128 MB RAM.

Re: Auto wrap reply madness!
On the website it says: %-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT=6_%- ^ at this line. May that be the culprit? I changed it, and still no go. That prompted me to do a diff between the QT I was using, and the one on the site. The differences (several really) helped me to fix the one on the site. And now that's what I use. It's a beauty. Why is it though ... that %WRAPPED=%QUOTES just wraps the first line in the reply? -- Ravi TB! v1.62/Beta5 on Windows XP icq: 196180805.1.2600 Service Pack 1 aim/msn/yim: r2maharaon a Pentium 233 MHz http://shell-shocked.tk with 128 MB RAM.

Auto-wrap of incoming text revisited
Just to clarify things for my tiny mind - if the auto-wrap option is ticked within Options - Editor Preferences, all incoming mail should be wrapped regardless of window size? Does this option have any connection with the character encoding as well? I just wished I could get the darn text to wrap so that I don't have to keep resizing my viewing window when people have their email clients set to 80 characters :( Any suggestions to help diagnose this problem is greately apreciated.
