What options do you guys use? > What options would make it behave more naturally? "Naturally" is a strange one. You can't necessarily do it. That's because it's been designed to provide well laid out plain text - not a natural function of a Windows based text editor really, so it's always doomed to be slightly at odds. > I especially have problems editing quoted text after I have replied > to it. The ">" spring back into the block when auto format is on. The trick is to always leave blank lines between what you're typing and the original text. TB uses that to delineate the separate paragraphs and is easily confused when they're left out. TB is one of the few MUAs that can nicely reformat quoted text. Focus into a quoted paragraph, press Alt-L and the quote prefix is removed, the paragraph reformatted and the prefix replaced. > Can I force word wrap per default on quoted text (some mailers don't > wrap lines properly)? No, but there's a recursive template you can use to do that job. I used it for a while but it's not the way to go, not really. Why? Well, because it messes up block quoted paragraphs, non-standard quotes, columnar text, lists and bullet points. Also, quoted text should always be trimmed to context, so you're better off manually formatting the eligible paragraphs you're actually keeping M>> See http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/shortcut_eng.html for a M>> full list of keyboard shortcuts. > I have been modifying some of them as CTRL+[ does not work on a > Danish keyboard.

I use a couple of QTs - GETADDR and GETNAME ,----- [ GETADDR ] | %REGEXPTEXT="(?Uis).*\nmail:\s(.*\@.*)\s" `----- ,----- [ GETNAME ] | %REGEXPTEXT="(?Uis).*\nnavn:\s(.*)\n" `----- so the final template is %TO=''%TO='"%QINCLUDE=#GETNAME#" <%QINCLUDE=#GETADDR#>' > Is there any way to make a filter that will prevent messages in the > outbox from being sent if the recipient is [EMAIL PROTECTED]? No. Outgoing filters only hit after the message has been sent. M>> The status line at the bottom of the edit window includes the account M>> name.

Write a quick template like this: %REPLYTO='"%FROMNAME" <%FROMADDR>' and %qinclude it into *all* of your templates. Better still, do as I do and leave your reply to address *blank* everywhere! (if it's the same as the "From", why specify it at all?).

(BTW, notice the weird quoting) Yes - that's what I mean about selective wrapping. Some things just don't wrap well at all. :-). - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
