This has annoyed me for some time and I'm only now getting around to
asking about it because it's not really a big deal. When composing
an email message, my preference is to put two spaces after a period
(full stop) in the message, but the TB editor insists on only one
space. Even when I go back and try to insert an additional space, the
editor corrects (?) it to a single space. Is there a way to fix
this?
After I've composed a message, I can click on Auto-Format (which
doesn't usually change anything in the text or format) and then go
back and insert my requisite spaces, but this is kind of a PITA and also
allows me to insert errors while I'm fooling around with my space issue.
I know that the current convention is to use only a single space,
but I learned my typing composition in ancient times when manual
typewriters roamed the earth and this is how I learned to do it. And
it's not just habit--I like the aesthetics of it. A single space
after a comma is fine, but the flow of reading and appearance would
really appreciate a double space after a period.
cl
Any thoughts?
(By the way, this message has been edited to include a double space
after the periods. Has anyone even noticed?)
