Hello Mark,

As I said in one of my posts to this threads, even some of the real
old timers need to ask questions sometimes. <g>

The one thing I really like about TB's TAB is that the TAB is replaced
by an equivalent number of spaces. I have seen so many editors treat
a tab character in so many different ways that I've totally stopped
using the TAB key.

That's a good way to ad a '>' character to the text without it turning
colour. Any line that starts with a space is assumed to be not a
quoted line, regardless of the existence of the > character.

I know the feeling. It is a bit of a shocker when I use other
programs. <g>

Un/fortunately, not unless you export those messages, edit them
externally and then re-import.
