Tab to indent (Was: Re[2]: v2.11.02 - Congrats to Ritlabs

I should have clarified that this behaviour of the non-indenting was found in the html editor, not the plain text ones. Using the tab to maneuver is not working properly. Switch to html editor, open new email, type in the address, tab to Subject, then attach some .gif, then tab to the body of the message. See how the caret jumps out to the attachment? So, tabbing around in an Edit Mail Message screen doesn't work. Well, _here_ it doesn't work. -- Thanks, Maggie Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

v2.11.02 - Congrats to Ritlabs
Hi Bats, I realize it's unfashionable to be happy for the new release with its smileys and chat, but I wish to congratulate Ritlabs on their inclusion of italics, bulleted lists and (of all things) tables. This has made my editing chores so simple now. Much easier to send properly formatted citations to a colleague, for instance. Thank you again. As with all new additions, there might be a couple of small dings (for instance in the way the tab does not indent the paragraph but jumps out to the attachment) but these are things that will be fixed anon. And I have patience. Tables - how wonderful - now, to get Atlantis to add them... Thanks also to the list for pointing out how to use the smileys as well as add gifs of our own. -- Regards, Maggie Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
