I can understand the difficulty with translating the word 'Justify'
when used in this context.

I can only illustrate what this setting achieves. Look at this very
message and you will quickly appreciate that all text lines have the
same character numbers and hence ends exactly at the same point.
Personally, I think justification is more impressive and appealing
when done using variable width fonts so I don't use it much.

That method of invoking help in Windows is far from being consistent,
to the point where I don't even try it. The only consistent way is
through the help menu or help button seen on applets. Unfortunately
the editor's preferences applet doesn't have it's own help button.

My main problem with the help file is that it doesn't explain things
enough. It gives you a hint and then you have to go figure the rest
out. Mr. Farance said that he couldn't find where to configure new
message templates. I cant say that I see this explicitly mentioned in
the help file under 'new message templates' or 'templates' or
'macros'. Especially how to find the new message template applet in
the folder settings and where to find the new message template applet
in the address book.
