Hello Januk, > Don't a lot of old DOS editors use free caret type interfaces?
Who uses DOS these days? Please, that's history! > True, but the free caret system requires mono-spaced fonts. One more reason for the free caret to go. Ask normal e-mail users out there (i.e. not militant batters) what they would prefer and you'll see. > Perhaps, but trying to do a table with proportional fonts will > result in a total mess more times than not. First, who needs tables in an e-mail? Second, if you really need to create a table (once in a blue moon) you can use the spacebar. Third, you can be almost certain that a table created with TB will look awful to the recipient since 90% of all e-mail users have e-mail clients that use proportional fonts. That was my point and you have no answer to that. > Toggle it [the auto-formatting feature] on and > off as necessary <ctrl><shift><F>. Unfortunately at this time, TB > does not make the current state of the auto-format function obvious. The point is that if you turn off the auto-format feature you have to hit Alt-L all the time to reformat manually. Try Eudora's editor and you'll see how well the autoformat feature is implemented. That should be a lesson for TB's programmers. > The current beta series has taken that to a completely new level, > and may actually be the beta series for V2.

TB will never become a serious alternative to major e-mail clients if its developpers don't look at what people need in the *real world*, as opposed to a dedicated "fan club", which is what this mailing list sometimes appears to be. TB's editor is the only one of its kind. Can it be that TB is right and all the others wrong? Highly unlikely.
