TB! originally had only MicroEd. MicroEd is special in that when it wraps as you type, it hard wraps. You'll see what I mean if you type a few lines of text in MicroEd and copy and paste it to notepad. Toggle notepad's wrapping on and off and the text remains wrapped. With this behaviour comes the advantage of not needing the wrap on send feature which is what most other e-mail clients use since their editors don't really wrap while editing. Soft-wrapping occurs and then the text is reflowed upon sending. The Windows editor for TB! was introduced so that those who don't like the cursor behaviour as well as other aspects of MicroEd could have a more familiar solution. Unfortunately TB! will not wrap on sending so the text is sent unwrapped. Your only solution would be to hit the return key when you're near to 80 characters and do the hard wrapping yourself, switch back to MicroEd or ignore the problem. I use MicroEd only. -- -=[ Allie Martin ]=- List Moderator and fellow end-user PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com The Bat! v2.12.04 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
