Hello Andrej & others on TBUDL following this thread,

Sunday, January 07, 2001,  you stated regarding :

A>>> Other problem, many people writes their messages in MS WORD, then
A>>> copies to The Bat!, each paragraph in this case turns to one long line

Even Notepad will do that. In TB! of course, one just hits alt+l
(off setting the line a space or two first if desired, so the whole block
block accommodates according). But then TB! user do think about what
they do.

AGS>> [+] %WRAPPED="text" macro to wrap generic text (macros can be used
AGS>> inside the text) accordingly to current wrap settings. Use %WRAPJUSTIFY
AGS>>                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AGS>> and %NOWRAPJUSTIFY to overwrite default settings of justification on
AGS>> wrap

A> It will help me to receive the messages with cut off lines correctly?:-)

A> Sorry again, this is not a problem for me. I speak about the people

Or shft+insert. (alt+insert for quoted paste in TB!).

A> I offer to make "Paste Formating" by default as it known problem

A> The advanced users can change adjustments and use an old method.

For quite some time I have asked to an "Edit Message" option.
Dragging the message to the outbox and back is just too clunkly (and
time consuming) a solution. (Even the despicable Calypso has this).

That way, one could hit alt+l or clean up a badly formatted but
interesting forwarded message (remove excess carrots etc).

With html (i.e. TB! v.2), one can also underline or make bold
certain passages, but I can live with (and probably now prefer)
using TB! colors, priorities, flagging & memos to help do that)
