You said: |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). So you want the Windows-like editor to be able (1) to send format-flowed messages or (2) to send hard-wrapped lines, other possible modes being excluded. Well, why don't you leave the Windows-like editor alone for other people's needings and do what you like using MicroEd? You can easily obtain (1) simply by setting text wrapping at a very high value (maximum is 32 thousand characters, it should be enough) and inserting format-flowed headers. See? There is no need to cripple down the Winlike editor to correctly obtain format-flowed. Oh, yes, reading your one-line paragraphs in your editor window would require a little effort with your scroll bar, but ... well, "there's always a certain point where automatisms fail", don't you agree? > Because *paragraphs* are separated with an empty line usually. :-) "Usually", paragraphs are separated with one return and, possibly, an indent. You can *choose* to insert empty lines in email to improve readability, but you should never be forced to use them to make a not-smart-enough editor capable to perform autoformatting tasks. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
