Hallo Spyder,

On Sun, 5 Jan 2003 11:48:24 -0600GMT (5-1-03, 18:48 +0100GMT, where I
live), you wrote:

You're mistaken in this case. TB doesn't do any formatting of incoming
messages. When you're reading a message in folder view, while using
the plain text viewer, TB doesn't rewrap or whatever, it simply tries
to show the message as the sender intended. However, TB does rewrap
messages when you're using the rich text viewer or when you're reading
the html part of an html-message (in which case the rtv probably will
be used). TB also does some rewrapping when you're reading the message
in the preview pane.

Two possibilities. Read messages in the preview pane and/or use the
RTV, the latter can be set in:
 Options -> Preferences -> Viewer tab -> View messages using ...

Hope this helps.



BTW You started your question as an answer to another thread. That's
not the best thing to do for the following reason.

The Bat is able to thread messages properly, in order to see what I
mean, just select the folder where you're storing the messages from
this list. Go to the menu: view - view threads by - references. Now
you'll see that all messages are lined up after the message to which
they're first, second (or whatever) level replies to.

You started what's essentially a new thread by replying to another
message. That means it shows up as listed in another thread. Since
people sometimes skip messages in threads they don't consider
interesting (for lack of time). They might skip your message too,
since they're not aware of the newly started thread. So next time
you'd do yourself a favor by sending a new message in stead of a
reply, because you're reaching a larger audience and one of those
might have the answer you've been waiting for.

This is not not meant to criticize you, but only to help you
appreciate the options TB offers and to be able to get more effect out
of your efforts.
