I repeated using some selected test F4 - same result. 5. I repeated using the menu reply command - same result. 6. I selected a msg @ random used the "reply all" icon the default reply template *worked*. I wanted to try to select a portion of the msg reply to all but don't know how to do it. 7. I re-installed TB! repeated all of the above with the same results. 8. I checked for duplicate entries in the address book but their weren't any. 9. I checked all addresses to be answered in this folder none had any over-riding template @ the AB level. 10. From the test folder I created a new AB entry of the same address the default reply template worked. 11. I returned to the original folder replied to a msg the folder reply template worked. This is the 2nd time these circumstances have presented themselves in this manner have resolved themselves in the identical manner. It seems to point to the AB.

The bat of happiness fluttered its wings and whispered to me that Graham said on Wednesday, October 11, 2000: Rev. Since Exchange client is a truly appalling piece of sh^H^Hsoftware, it Rev. didn't take long for me to scrub every remnant of Calypso off my hard Rev. drive. That's your opinion. There is much in Calypso that I like, and somethings I don't. The same is true of The Bat. Absolutely. It is entirely my opinion. However, since customers' opinions are possibly of some value to the makers of TB! I'll go on to mention two things in particular -- sort of a warning: touch this and I'm history. The two worst things about Exchange client (5.0, and again only imho) are that: (a) it hides things from you and (b) it f*cks with your email. For instance (and this is an example of both faults), in Exchange's editor when you have "Internet formatting" selected, you do *not* see the message as others will see it. Even as an experienced user, I too often end up with extra ""s or missing ""s. TB! has just one case where it does this: it fails to display the extra space after the sigdash. That was, however, the subject of a disgruntled email from me to tech support. I'm one of the handful of people in the world to whom appearance of their email is important. If a message comes from me that looks crummy, it's because I have no sense of style, but dammit, I made it look as good as I knew how to! And *I* was in control of how it looked. Oops -- one more thing where TB! thinks it knows better than you do. If you format a paragraph in TB! and you've used two spaces after the period (like most Americans were taught in typing class), TB! turns it into a single space. Well, I've got news for you, TB! developers -- it shouldn't matter whether I've put one or two or fifteen spaces after a period. That's none of your business. I wrote it that way, and you should leave it the hell alone. You do *not* know what your customers want their email to look like. From a purely software engineering standpoint, when is it ever good practice to make one functional element do two things (correct line length and respace within the line)? I've told tech support about that one too. So TB! is already treading on dangerous ground, at least for me. But back to the real villains. One of the things Exchange hides from you (I suppose it's because the developers think you're too stupid to understand them) is headers. In fact, it often just plain destroys headers. That means, if you sent a message to somebody who had an alias, if you ever want to send him email again, you're screwed. And anybody who's had the temerity to send a non-Microsoft-proprietary attachment format (e.g., JPEG) knows that Exchange client "improves" your filenames, changing foo.jpg into foo.jpg.jpe. (I understand that not every copy of Exchange client 5.0 does this, but our tech support people have been absolutely unable to fix it, so I mark it down as a characteristic of Exchange client). Here's the scoop, email client builders: mail is plain old text. Yes, I know there are some complications in the middle with unicode character sets and MIME attachments, but there are no trapdoor functions: text in, text out. People who use email clients are perfectly capable of generating text all by themselves, and do not like it when you mess with what they've done. And btw, once the email comes down the pipe to my machine, it's mine and don't f*ck with it then, either. I threw Eudora away (after paying for it!) when I discovered it "improved" the filenames of attached files (foo.html became foo.htm). Buh-bye, Eudora! With Calypso, the final straw was a silly thing: they evaluated their templates at program startup rather than when you composed a message. Well, that absolutely destroys the ability of Calypso to use sigmonsters (random signature generators). Buh-bye, Calypso! But that's really in the realm of extra features. Basically I'm easy to please. Don't hide stuff from me, and don't mess with my email. It's astonishing how few email programs can manage those simple requirements, though. -- Rev.

Well, I never understood this double space behaviour in American texts I got, now you tell me ... Can you even tell me *why* you were taught this way? Europeans usually make one, maybe a sign of parsimony?! ;-) I don't know. Tradition? But the point isn't which is "correct". Neither is. Well, actually my way is, by definition, but I won't press the point ;-) I think the important point is that users ought to be free to put spaces in their paragraphs, type in all lowercase, and do all manner of things without their email client butting in. And why? Because formatting a paragraph's line lengths is a different thing from formatting within the line. They're two different functions. And afaik, TB!'s way of doing things is unique. Take good old fmt(1). This is what its manpage says: "The fmt command both joins and splits lines to achieve the desired width, but words are never joined or split; spaces are always preserved, and lines are split at spaces only. In effect, fmt ignores newline characters in the input and wraps words to make lines a close as possible to width bytes, resulting in individual lines of varying length but a consistent (new) text width overall. Because blank lines are always preserved, fmt does not merge paragraphs separated by blank lines." The prosecution rests. Re the "ahem": could I say that TB! f-rn-c-tes with my text? ;-) -- Rev.
