I find many characters broken when I reply to HTML messagees using MicroEd. There are many additional question marks, and many spaces between words are lost. So I have to manually edit the part of the original mail that I copy in the reply. Not nice. :-( -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Re: link wrapping
Rich Gregory, [RG] wrote: RG> TB! will wrap long links and not "know" that it has truncated a URL. Is this while viewing a received message? If so, then this isn't TB!'s fault but the sending client's fault. Most clients will wrap upon sending and many do not care if a long URL is one of the things it's wrapping. You receive the message with the URL already wrapped and TB! simply displays the wrapped URL, already broken. I'll give you a long URL: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1880418592/ref=pd_ts_coop/104-7943297-2153543?v=glance&s=books&n=549066 I really don't expect TB! to wrap this.

Well, for the above URL, you can make the viewer smaller and TB! will still not wrap an unwrapped URL as with the one above. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11 Beta/6 on WinXP Pro (SP1) Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
