Yes. In my specific case: Agent and Dialog or, if we're talking about word processing, Open Office, as well as any editor of common use, excluding a programmer's one, like MicroEd seems more to be. Dialog in particular seems pretty close to perfection, for email and news messages editing: it's capable to perform all the email related tasks that MicroEd particularly does as well, without the alt+l/double return syndrome. > However, there was a wish once that one should be able to use any > external editor of choice, and some would want to use ViM. I don't > know what became of that wish. Ah yes, the "external editor" solution, but that way you loose any interaction between the editor and the mail client. And what about specific email related functions, e.g. quotes handling? Definetly not a solution, IMO. Seems to me more like a programmer's virtuosity, only an end to itself. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
