Hi Tom,
On 18 January 2000 at 12:33:36 GMT -0800 (which was 20:33 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points:
TP> do you EVER choose "typical installation"?
Absolutely never. What's your point?
TP> Plain-text formatting? That's ridiculous.
My example was inane, I accept that. I stole it. From Steve Lamb. The
fact that I'm trying to get over to you is that TB's virtual space
works well for me and (I believe) others. "Ridiculous"? Is that fair?
TP> Except that I don't want to fire up an external editor. I want to
TP> use the internal one.
Not from what you are saying about the way it works. You don't like
the virtual space technology it uses and decry as "ridiculous" the
suggestion that it has any use. At least Steve objects to it from the
honest viewpoint that he would rather use an external editor than
compromise the features that other enjoy in it.
TP> Power. You keep implying that useless features are powerful.
Useless to you, perhaps. IMHO you haven't even started trying to use
it. There have been numerous discussions and examples in this list
over the time its' been going of just how useful the TB editor's
virtual space, columnar capabilities and creative use of TAB can be. I
don't have the wit nor energy to recall them all right now for what is
clearly a closed discussion at your end.
TP> What I want is an editor that behaves the way I want it to. Don't
TP> you?
Yes, of course I do. And I have it. I just don't want it messed up.
I've already said, if the NoVirtualSpace can be made optional *easily*
and without adding needless bloat, then I don't see the harm...
The only argument against that is one that has also been run here
about the adding of yet-another-darn-switch for yet-another-flavour-of
whatever else it is that has nothing at all to do with how well TB
handles email.
