Hello John,
On 9 Jan 2002 at 00:50:27 you wrote (at least in part):

So I don't. I many times I want to re-adjust, reformat text or do
something else that need me position the cursor somewhere else but at
beginning of line.
And see: even M$ took the step and implemented a 'click and type'
function :-)

I don't. Setting '%CURSOR' in ma templates at beginning of a line was
enough. When 'in mail editing' I hit 'enter'. If I wrote a line with
indentation the cursor of course if positioned intended too. But
that's an advantage to me too. Consider writing something like this:
1.) This is some example text
with this line intended. OK, I had to move the cursor for this
indentation, but first: only the cursor, no <Space> hitting,
second this line and the line before were intended automatically
... really practical :-)
2.) Now I had to press 'Home' once to get the not intended second
paragraph, but that's once in a while for the rest of automatic
text reflow :-)
You see: mail writing _can_ be easy, and your program _can_ support
you in writing, IF you have the priority on 'effective writing'
instead of 'colourful writing' :-)
