Hello tracer,

It sure does tracer. I guess I have to put the blame on my bad command
of English. What I _think_ I say, is not necessarily always what I
_mean_ to say. Sorry about that. I think you guys better enter for a
course in Norwegian :)

Exactly, and that's what happens. I can place the cursor wherever I
want in the message, but (for some of us), placing the %Cursor macro
_after_ the %Quotes macro has an annoying side effect (the by now well
known "disappearing text- and scrollbar problem"), so if the only
alternatives I have are:

  1. Before the quotes.
  2. Not including it.

then the %Cursor macro is of little (if any) practical use for me. I
fail to see how to benefit from using it in my reply templates at all,
because, by not including it, TB! defaults to the upper left corner.
No big difference from placing the cursor before the quotes IMO.

Anyway, leaving out the %Cursor macro cured this problem for me,
however, this doesn't explain why I have a similar problem in NTP. My
first thought was that there could be some sort of connection here.
