My assumption was that if I set a quote name limit of 4, then the maximum number of characters that I should see is 4, not 4x4x4. > > For example when I reply to a message from "A'ca'rya > > Somethinga'nanda Avadhu'ta", what I get is lines that begin with > > "AcrSnAt>", regardless what limit I set (currently 4 and based on > > initials). > > The quote name limit doesn't affect what the outputted initials are. > The quote name limit denotes the maximum number of characters for a > quote prefix, after which TB! will ignore the prefix as being one. I am not sure that I follow you here. I set the limit at 4, and I now see 7 characters. Is this legitimate? > For reply prefixing, you chose 'Initials'.

Perhaps the way initials > are generated needs some revision. So are you saying that TB disregards the quote name limit if you have a lot of those various characters included (I see the dash and the strudel that I mentioned in your list)? > However, the example you gave above, led to the creation of an > initialed quote prefix that is more than 4 characters long.

So the prefix then stopped functioning as a prefix (see below). > > Even more disturbing is the fact that this stops formatting as > > quoted text - lines begin without the quoted initials prefix. > > This may be as a result of your having 'smart wrapping' enabled. > Disable 'smartwrapping' should cure this. You could also increase your > quote name limit. Might be because of smart wrapping. I will test this later. But I really don't want to disable smart wrapping, and I also don't ever want to have quote prefixes more than 4 characters, regardless of what characters appear in the name. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
