It has been this way since 3.0.1.33. I got into a misunderstanding right here on TBBETA because of it. The bug turned up in the pre-3.0 series, was somehow fixed in 3.0, and then returned in the 3.0.1.33 "fix" version. The smiley will be quoted in the middle of a line, but not at the end, or standing alone on a separate line. In a discussion here, one of the developers told me that it couldn't be fixed. So I've been using the work-around of switching briefly to PTV before quoting a message with smileys in it. (Thankful for the context menu for message bodies allowing an easy switch between PTV and RTV!) No one seemed to be bothered by this little bug except me, so I shut up about it. But it does have the potential to do some harm in inter-personal relationships, besides simply being confusing. > Try it by replaying and quoting this line ;-) Didn't even need to try! Knew all along--but didn't think about it in connection with Liz's missing your smiley. > You don't even need to send the reply, you will see it in the editor > window. True!! But even if one has noticed the smiley, one may not notice the failure to quote it, unless sensitized to it, as I am. > Now I understand why Liz misunderstood Tony's reply to my joking about > his digital signature. > Using RTV but _not_ the "Use smiley icons in HTML viewer" option, the > ASCII smiley is quoted just fine. Yes, but then the smiley images--which I do still enjoy seeing in messages--are not displayed in the original message; only the ASCII text which calls the images. > Confirmations? Fully confirmed. I do indeed wish there were a way this could be fixed. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.24 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
