Although, I had understood from previous conversations with Tony that he keeps the Smiley function disabled. However, if he was using selected quoting, just a misfire of the highlighting (omitting the end of the line) would result in the same unfortunate truncation. > I guess I'll have to find an alternative to the use of smileys to > indicate that I am not being serious some times. Ah, I hadn't until this minute focused on the double and triple quoting which goes on in our mailing list threads. Once a person posts, whether the smiley stays with his quote is out of that person's hands. Well, it's not nearly so convenient, but "stage directions" in brackets are a style that I borrow occasionally from Leif. <grin> The optimum solution would be for the developers to spot where things are breaking down and fix it. But I guess they don't have time, and, as you say, this is a "little" bug, compared to all the feature-enabling and Big Bug fixing that is on their plates. <smiling sadly> At any rate, I'm glad to have a little bit of TBBETA list attention to it, presently. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.25 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/
