Hi Tim,

On  07 January 2000  at  01:48:20 GMT +0000 (which was 01:48 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points:

TF> Why? This is extremely irratating.

This is because TB's auto-formatting works in terms of paragraphs, not
lines. A new paragraph is separated from the previous by a blank line.
i.e.

Hello

How are you?

If  the  lines  are  consecutive,  they will be joined together by the
auto-format  functionality. To stop this happening use Ctrl-Shift-F to
toggle  auto-format  off whenever you need to use consecutive lines in
this manner.

Although many complain about this aspect of a/f and eventually turn it
off  and  use  Alt-L  /  Alt-J  to  manually  reformat while typing, I
personally  like  it this way and think that a blank line between them
makes  message  paragraphs  clearer,  cleaner  and  easier to read ...
*tracer ... please note!* ;-).

Cheers,
Marck
