Yes. Why do you compose mails like this in rich-text/HTML format though? If your mail is going to contain largish chunks of code it'd surely be better just to compose and send in plain text, then you'd not fall foul of TB's error. According to https://kb.mozillazine.org/Plain_text_e-mail_-_Thunderbird in the section "Send both plain text and HTML" it says "... Thunderbird automatically creates a plain text version for you by stripping the HTML tags from a copy of the HTML message body. " But clearly as well as stripping the <i> tags it inserted the slashes. Maybe that's because of what, on the same page, at "Structured Text" it says "Thunderbird will display text in a plain text message in bold if its surrounded by '*', in italics if its surrounded by '/' and underline it if its surrounded by '_'." But options for how it displays messages (for you) should have nothing to do with the way it generates plain text to send out. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
