Hi Alexander, on Wed, 31 Jan 2007 19:20:20 +0100GMT (31.01.2007, 19:20 +0100GMT here), you wrote: ASK on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 at 18:52 you (Peter Meyns) wrote: So does Mozilla Thunderbird, even on both sides of the text and it adds lines of different colors to other quote levels. I cannot say that I like it... :( ASK I thought its only an on-screen rendering in Thunderbird that you can ASK turn on and off, or is it permanent with HTML mails? It may very well be that it can be turned off. I haven't dug too deep into TBird's settings yet - I only installed my actual Linux partition with Kanotix a few days ago. I turned off the default sending of HTML though. :)) And now, with the new beta of The Bat! present, I'm even more in a conflict which OS I should start... ;-) I'll check the blue lines next time I run TBird. :) For The Bat! I most definitely wish them to be optional, when there's any need for them at all. -- Cheers Peter The Bat! v3.96.01 :beta: on WinXP, SP2, 5, 1, build 2600, AMD Athlon 2200+ at 1794 MHz, 512 MB RAM Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

True. But asking Ritlabs to make the HTML editor not add this unwanted line should be the better solution.

Blue Lines
A friend sent me an email that he asked me to edit and return to him. When I hit reply, I get his text with a thick blue line to the left, and it's nearly impossible to edit what he sent me in any coherent way. What causes the blue line? Is it possible to turn that off? Frustrating. -- Mike Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The blue line is caused by replying to HTML with the HTML editor, the solution is to reply with one of the plain text editors or by redirecting the message to your friend as in this case you want to edit his message, not reply to it. -- Groetjes, Roelof What do you mean, you formatted the cat?!? http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 3.95.8 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgp4TLiNbS6Wr.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
