remind me what it was ...
In the case of mail [1] textbackground overlapped bottom footnote texts or
top floats if the backgrounded stuff covered two pages.
You suggested to use \chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone to prevent from
this behaviour. Using this setting fixed it, but introduced some kind of
vertical stretchiness failure so that page text can overlap a bottom
footnote text as shown in the case of mail [2].
So, both textbackground/page modes have their limitation that makes
textbackground use not satisfying. So, it would be great if it could be
fixed.
I haven't installed the latest context release yet, but there's the same
behaviour with context live.
Thanks,

Thanks Hans for the prompt reply.
I tried the following code:
\definetextbackground[A]
[frame=off,location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=gray]
\setuptyping[before={\starttextbackground[A]},after=
{\stoptextbackground}]
But this resulted in tons of errors. Could you give some instruction
as to how to proceed?
I don't know if it's the mailer that wrapped the text, but you should
stuck option=value, like this:
\setuptyping[before={\starttextbackground[A]},
after={\stoptextbackground}]
With a old release (2006.05.23), it works fine.

Re: [NTG-context] Page breaking problem
Hi,
The wrapping was indeed caused by the mail program. I attached source
code and the log file below. BTW, I'm using the 6/17/06 distribution.
Thanks!
