I don't think you could have expressed the problem more clearly. That is, the problem with *every thing that doesn't do it like TB*. Far from being avoided, WYSIWYG is as essential in email as it is in any other medium. When you compose a document in a word processor, how would you like for it to print differently from how you composed it? Well, it's the hard returns that let TB do it for plain text email. ME> Many text editors have a clean "model/view" design, instead of ME> Bat's confused "view is the model" design. I disagree. That's not the case. It's about the final destiny of the output. In TB's editor's case, the intent is to send an email. Email doesn't employ any soft wrapping format as a standard. ... <snip> The fact is that everything you hanker after is right there in TB's text editor behind the Ctrl-Shift-F toggle. Turn it on for typing paragraphs that need to be dynamically flowed. Turn it off for lists and other non-flowed paragraphs. Heck, it will even flow indented paragraphs to perfection. Not many of the "other editors" you mention do it as elegantly. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+C1NyOeQkq5KdzaARAm3yAKD9Wf1OCPHL15BFfaBpfA9Iek21awCgzlqt cWO7I5VnVVawWfkdU2fMCPM= =sEB5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
