I am tempted to consider that to be a KS bug, and would very much like to see this changed in later KS versions of TB. The logic is simple - quoted URLs are usually ignored because in many cases they were written by the person who receive them, I respectfully disagree. Especially on mailing lists and in forwarded messages the url will not be put there by you yourself, and especially in mailing lists your interest in a url might only be aroused the second or third time that somebody discusses the content of that url. so if we highlight them, they can become a pain in the eye because they are very distractive. Most other software for mail and news applies the principle of highligthed urls no matter whether they are original or quoted, and I've never seen complaints about distraction or illegibility.

Hello Karin, On Tue, 24 Oct 2000 at 19:16:14 GMT +0200 (which was 10:16 AM where I live) witnesses say Karin Spaink typed: so if we highlight them, they can become a pain in the eye because they are very distractive. Most other software for mail and news applies the principle of highligthed urls no matter whether they are original or quoted, and I've never seen complaints about distraction or illegibility. The only thing I would add is, perhaps there is a difference between an active link and a highlighted link? I don't know how the parsing routine is handled in TB, but just because a link is active does not mean that it *must* be a different colour than the surrounding text. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/7 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: url's in quoted text
In Reference to "url's in quoted text" From Karin Spaink: " K While TB shows url's in mail properly, and they are clickable, K these properties disappear the moment that a url is quoted. At the risk of being a bandwagonner, I agree it's a bothersome little trait. While I don't regularly use them for clicking to open a browser or new message, I do use them for right clicking and saving to the clipboard where my clipboard manager auto files them for me. I shall now leap from the bandwagon as I just noticed we're passing a pub with Guinness on tap and I'm feeling a bit parched. -- ò¸ó Nick [MUA: TB! 1.47 Beta/7] Danger [OS: Win98 4.10 1998] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
