Formatting
Hello Everyone, is there a setting that I can use so that TB will keep the formatting of the email compose window? I am using a specific font size and font for my emails but often copy & paste details from other systems into the emails. Some of these are very small fonts, so each time I need to go in and manually change this to match the rest of the text. See the following example which looks silly but also affects the formatting of the following text. So, I am hoping for a feature like in excel that states that formatting of the destination sheet is being kept. Example: CN101402 for the copy and paste, suddenly much smaller text and not only for the copied part but also for whatever I write subsequently -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 8.8.9 on Win 7Prof, 64bit Current version is 8.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Forward formatting
Greetings Bats!, We get email notification of most of our utility bills which are mailed to my wife's email address. I have a filter on her laptop machine which automatically forwards all these notifications to my desktop computer. This works just fine for all notifications except one which comes to her nicely formatted in the form of a table containing the information. Unfortunately, the forward which I receive on my desktop is no longer formatted as she received it. I receive the forward from her as simply text, no formatting (no table). As a consequence it's difficult to match the information to the column headers because the information is no longer in table form. Any ideas as to why this would be and what, if anything can be done about it? -- TIA, Jack LaRosa Using The Bat! ver: 5.0.8.

Formatting margins when composing message
Is it possible to format a message in such a way as to prevent lines of text from extending the entire width of a wide screen? When composing a message as a text message, this is not an issue. The line is apparently limited to a certain number of characters. However, then composing in HTML or HTML/text, the line, on the screen, will extend the entire 24 inch width of the screen, which makes it difficult for the one writing the message to read. Is there a way, when composing in HTML or HTML/text, to limit the width of a line during composition? By the way, reducing the size of the window doesn't work, as it then necessitates use of the scroll bar at the bottom to see the entire line.

The only way around that is to export the message with a template that keeps the original headers and text, with the exception of your repetitive text. As the next action in that filter you need to delete the message (not the exported file, but the one in your message base) and finally you need to import your exported text. As importing is no filter action, you need to start TB as an external program in your filter with the /import parameter (look into the help file for more info) I don't know the real nature of your problem, is the repetitive text annoying to you or is it the fact that you have to delete it when you quote it?

Oh, and those errors are against the transitional DTD - which is far more relaxed. Anyone using FONT tags today should be taken out into the woods and sh(...own the correct way).

Hello Lawrence, It would be great to even just embolden, underline or italicize. That wheel is already invented. A friend of mine uses it all the time and I do every now and then. Use MS Word instead of TB's editor and compose your message with the font sizes, colours and highlights of your preference. Even include images and graphics if you wish (my friend includes his company's logo), etc., etc. When ready, select File/Send To/Mail Recipient (as attachment) and voilá, TB's editor opens now for you to included e-mail address of the recipient and Subject and allow you to click Send. And guess what! The recipients will see the text colours, fonts, etc. that you have selected even if they do not use TB as an e-mail client. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hi Bats, I was sending some emails yesterday where I could not seem to format the text. No amount of pressing Alt+L would fix the paragraph, whether the text was actually selected or the cursor was only in the long line.

Quite often, I want to reformat all paragraphs at once. Or all paragraphs that I have selected with the mouse. I can't find a way to do that, though. When I mark the paragraphs and then press Alt-L, all the paragraphs are thrown together into big one illegible blob. I don't want that - all paragraphs should remain separated by an empty line, but each paragraph should be individually reformatted. Any ideas? btw, it would be very helpful if after the reformatting, the cursor would jump to the start of the next paragraph. That way you could quickly reformat your whole message simply by pressing Alt-L a few times.

Well, it isn't exactly the solution you asked for, but you can use a quick template to approximate the job. You actually need two quick templates: [QT wrap] %COMMENT=%CLIPBOARD%- %QINCLUDE=wrap2 %COMMENT= [End] [QT wrap2] %IF:'%- %SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)[^\n]+%- %REGEXPMATCH=%COMMENT''':'%- %- %WRAPPED=_%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n((\w{0,5}(\\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)$|\z)%- %-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%COMMENT%- %-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT=1_ %- %COMMENT=_%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)^.*?(\n((\w{0,5}(\\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)$|\z)%- %-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%COMMENT%- %-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT=5_ %- %QINCLUDE=wrap2' [End] Note: I would have just posted the link to the original version* in the archive, but these templates have been updated to work properly with the current TB release (1.60q). * http://www.mail-archive.com/tbtech@thebat.dutaint.com/msg01525.html So with this set of templates, you'd select the paragraphs to be reformatted, press ctrl-x, type wrap (without the quotes) then ctrl-space. That's it. Note that this template system will also work on quoted text. DVR When I mark the paragraphs and then press Alt-L, all the DVR paragraphs are thrown together into big one illegible blob. Yes, but while this may seem like a nuisance, there is a benefit. When you select text then press alt-L, TB assumes that the selected text is one paragraph. TB *only* reformats those lines. That means that if you want to reformat one entry in a list, you can select just that entry without ruining the list. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer. -Douglas Adams Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

At least that way one could move on down the line from paragraph to paragraph rather rapidly. Stef said he'd do it but that was last year. (How many other email clients allow you to communicate directly with the head programmers? Although I think Stef's email address changed).

Clean up formatting?
10/19/2000 at 11:59 AM One of the things that I really miss from using Eudora, was Eudora's word wrap plug-in- that let you cleanup the broken formatting in a message that you were trying to read. I am finding that I often have incorrect returns in messages that I am trying to read in the Bat!, especially ones that have been forwarded a number of times before I get to see them. Is there a way similar to the "word wrap" Eudora plug-in to cleanup and remove extraneous carriage returns in the Bat!? Thanks. -- -Nick+ (The Rev.) W.

Line wrapping and quote formatting
I had a couple of quick questions on line-wrapping 1) As best as I can tell, TB doesn't do any additional formatting/wrapping when you send the message, and relies on you to have already wrapped the line either manually, via a formatting command, or via auto-wrap. Is this correct? 2) If the first part is correct, how does it handle stacked replies? That is, the line may have been 75 chars to start, but by the time you add a few " " and "GM " to it, you'll certainly extend over the limit. Also, is there any way to turn off auto-insertion of the quote prefix? For example, TB thought that the above paragraph had a quote in line 3 (prefixed with 'add a few "') and attempted to add it to the next line down as I was typing.

It doesn't rewrap and mangle it as way too many other clients out there do. Even better, it offers you the ability to reflow the stacked replies in a flash. Just get the cursor anywhere in the stacked reply paragraph and hit Alt+L. (NB// Do not use the mouse to position the cursor in the paragraph, but if you insist, hit one of the arrow keys and then do the Alt+L operation. GM Also, is there any way to turn off auto-insertion of the quote GM prefix? No. Fortunately, it's more handy than not for me. When I'm using Gravity and there's no auto insertion of quote prefixes, I feel disabled. :-) but I do agree that this should be made optional. GM For example, TB thought that the above paragraph had a quote in line 3 GM (prefixed with 'add a few "') and attempted to add it to the next GM line down as I was typing. To help minimize this, go in the editor preferences and adjust the 'quote name limit' option. The default is 20. What this means is that TB! will assume that any '' character that occurs within 20 characters of a new line is a quote prefix (the exceptions being if the '' is preceded by '' or if the first character of the line is a space). If you reduce this setting, what happened to you would be less likely to happen where the auto-quote prefixing is inadvertently triggered while composing messages. - -- A. Curtis Martin..
