Your paragraphs are going out as one long line. It depends on the reader's email client to do the wrapping for you (like the HTML editor), which fails utterly for some clients, and makes for very long lines on others. - Within the editor your text only gets wrapped at the requested nth column if you're using fixed-width fonts. Otherwise lines can be much longer or shorter depending on the size of the font and the spacing of the characters. - Long lines (such as those created by the Windows plain text editor) are quoted only at the beginning of each paragraph. Smart quote reformatting doesn't work at all. - It appears to constantly refresh the entire window, so there's a distracting flicker while you're editing text. The plain text editor is really just an HTML editor sans formatting, and isn't a good solution for people who prefer to work with plain text. -- zParticle ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
