Okay, I see what you're talking about now... however, I cannot reproduce this... what editor/viewer are you using?

Okay... again, I am unable to reproduce, what editor/viewer are you using? Actually... no need to answer... I switched my editor, the rich text viewer DOES do this, but the plain text one doesn't. This goes the same for the above issue. So it is viewer specific... might have been worth mentioning ;) JA>> Erm... how would you highlight text for reply? > This is the way the preview pane worked in previous versions.

If so > please let me know. :) No... it's the choice of viewer... your choice of viewer (Rich Text) does this, but the plain text one doesn't... I guess it might be worth mentioning it if you'd reported this as a bug :) Unless of course, I missed your mentioning it. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Using The Bat! v2.10.01 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Bad command or file name.
