Hi Joe,
On 08 August 2000 at 16:34:10 GMT -0500 (which was 22:34 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Two Format Questions":
MDP>> Alt-j - format justified?
JF> If you say so. But that command does *not* maintain paragraphs
JF> either, which is extremely important to me.
What do you mean by "maintain paragraphs"? If you mean the typewriter
convention of indenting the first line of a new paragraph .. I don't
use it myself. Nor do I use the "double space after punctuation"
concept. I do use paragraphs separated by a blank line. Under these
conditions TB maintains paragraphs with a beauty and an elegance which
suits my e-mail writing style to a tee ;-).
(okay, I may have had to "settle" a wee bit, but I like it a lot now).
MDP>> Also TB reformat will correctly move quote marks while
MDP>> reformatting.
JF> I'm not sure I understand this, Marck.
Well, I just Alt-J'd my quoted line above and the line was re-flowed
with the quote marks maintained in the correct position.
MDP>> Completely. That's why I recently described this "quirk" in a
MDP>> bug report submitted to RIT labs.
JF> Ideally, TB would automatically format your pasted text in the
JF> same way as your normal default message format.
Agreed - it should.
JF> I don't know why it doesn't,
Because the way that the "paste" function has been written, it has
bypassed the normal text formatting functions ... a bug IMHO.
