When the comment is made on text flow, it is usually about the quoted
material and not what I had written. In TB! one can easily reformat quoted
text. In Agent and Gravity you can't. My question is why put this prompt
in my face asking me if I'm sure I want to send the message with lines too
long without giving a solution? Another prompt that is annoying occurs
when your follow-up message has only a few responding words. A popup
message appears saying that the amount of quoted material (even though
trimmed) is far more than what I have written and if I'm sure that I still
want to send? Now tell me ....

Well, you should, especially if it needs to be to make it easier for
people to read it. :)

That's you. :)

I do. I just gave my opinion, remember? I didn't declare that no-one
should use it. I take my message formatting seriously since I strongly
feel that it's good courtesy to make your reader comfortable.

I copy text from the client into 'message cleaner' which cleans up the
formatting for me. I don't have to use it with TB! provided the '>' quote
prefix is used.
