TB clearly has a bug here, but messages should not be hard-wrapped by default when using the Windows editor. IMHO, the settings for the Windows editor should be separated from Microed. If one chooses to hard-wrap messages at column 72 or whatever, TB should do so before sending to supply the same "WYSIWYG" principle of Microed. But if one chooses to use the "flowed" format (aka the way the Windows editor is working now), it should a) add the "flowed" headers to the outgoing message and b) not cause the false impression of wrapping by formatting the text while typing (but using the fill window width just as well). -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Science is built of facts the way a house is built of bricks, but an accumulation of facts is no more science than a pile of bricks is a house. -- Henri Poincare ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
