Correct. If you put a space after the two dashes, TB will preserve then *unless* you go back to that line. Then, like with nay line, trailing spaces will be deleted. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Ah, but now it works! I think the editor has the same behaviour after the
cut mark line as after any other line, but TB knows not to trim trailing
spaces (or at least one) if you put it on the line. It's not very clear I
know, but it seems to work if you put a space at the end of that line
(either in your template or in the message itself) and then don't do
anything like press the end key.

How do I check? I was sure I typed the space into the template,
but if I now try to check, the cursor just goes on moving right
I have now typed a space after the two hyphens but it appears
(and the cursor behaves) exactly as before.

I have TB configured the same way as you do, and I can't reproduce the
problem you are having.
BTW, your cut mark isn't working, you need a space after it ("-- ")

Would you be surprised if your partner disappeared? :-) I suppose The Bat! has feelings too. So next time you come home late at night, after a heavy day, leave your computer alone. Drink a Belgian beer instead; that is: only if your day was not heavy _because of_ drinking too much of it! :-) -- Best Wishes, Mark using The Bat! 2.01.56 Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
