GS> Does the Auto-Format option work on a go forward basis similar to
GS> Auto-wrap? I'll have to try it when I start a new message.
GS> Conceptually I'm wondering what is the difference between
GS> Auto-wrap and Auto-Format.

Auto-wrap is what does the initial wrapping as you type. Unlike
Auto-format, it only does its thing once. TB!'s editor doesn't soft
wrap at all and this is part of the whole issue of how it behaves. It
doesn't do soft returns at all, and there's no adjustment of
formatting done upon sending the message, which is what most other
clients do. This is why you're always seeing the exact formatting the
recipient will receive.

Note also that Alt+L is not only manual but does some extra things.
Alt+l tends to remove extra spaces. So if you like to indent the first
line of your paragraphs, Alt+L will mess you up. Also, if you're of
the school where sentences should be separated by two spaces instead
of one, then Alt+L will not be your friend. OTOH, auto-format will
reflow text without removing the extra spaces or initial indenting of
paragraphs.

GS> This user list is great for learning TB!.

I agree.

GS> In a few days of using TB! I can see why people like it and I've

I really love it, despite its quirks in some areas. I think it's the
best out there at present.
