Hello Thomas,

T IOW: TB's editor knows only hard return (CR/LF), and no soft returns
T as in Notepad.

Ough, that's not so good for me :(

T Advantage: the mail will be sent exactly the way you see it.

Hmm, you mean, the recipients will get 'cutted' message?

 Is there any way or possibility to write them like one long line in Notepad with
 word-wrap option turned on, "ready for DTP processing"?

T What is DTP processing?

I didn't mean specifically for DTP, that was just an expression to point out my
problem... For DTP (Desktop Publishing) processing, source text must be without
CR/LF codes, otherwise, DTP workers have to use adequate macros to remove it...
The usual condition is writing texts in MS Word or other word-processing
software, and later, DTP worker can easy make whatever he wants in Quark,
PageMaker (columns, subtexts, whatever...).
That's why I don't like this in EVERY e-mail software...

 What about quoted-printable encoding? Will this, if I use, remedy my 8-bit
 letters?

T Dunno. Why don't you try it out?

I did it with HTML message in OE and it worked.

 No, I won't send attached mail and write it in MS Word ;)

Another way is to write your text in Notepad or another plain text
editor and attach that. It is still attached (I know, you said you did
not want that), but it is in no proprietary format like MS Word. And
it is not wrapped (if you configured your text editor not to use hard
returns).

AFAIK in e-mail programs it is recommended by RFCs and part of the
netiquette that hard returns are added by the e-mail programs at about
70 characters a line. This is e.g. helpful for quoting.

Texts which you want to process further after mailing should be sent
as an attachment.

It  is.  Furthermore,  many  of  them wrap after you hit send, so it's
entirely out of your control and sight. The suggestion of attaching an
externally prepared file is completely correct. Email was not designed
to convey DTP information. DTP information was not designed to be sent

DB Texts which you want to process further after mailing should be

Re[3]: Like Notepad with word-wrap...

2001-01-20 Thread Nebula

Hallo Lija,

if you want non-wrapped Text then write it in Notepad (or something leike
that) and save it as .txt, so that you can attach it to your Mails. You
can't be sure that a Mail goes to the recipient as you want. The Recipient
can have filters or his Mail-program ignores some special characters. With
a attached file you won't get these Problems.

If you don't want it, Quark is able to replace all 'returns'.

Standards are not knee-jerk reactions.  If you insist on sending
unformatted e-mails, don't be upset with the complaints you get from
recipients.  The Bat! is an e-mail client, not a DTP utility.  The
function it performs is that of conveying textual information in an
efficient and straight-forward manner.  Unformatted lines, Rich Text,
HTML, XML etc. do not enhance that function.

However, if you insist on long lines that will, no doubt, cause readers to use the 
horizontal scroll bar, or view the message in an uncontrolled, and most likely, 
unwanted manner, then by all means turn off "Utilities/Auto-Wrap" (Shift-Ctrl-W).

Should the demonstration in the previous paragraph actually work, my
apologies to everyone else.

That  is  a  retrograde step. What TB does in pre-formatting beats the
other  clients  hands  down  in  terms of plain text presentation. The
others  all  wrap  *after* you hit send. What's the point of that? The
element  of  surprise? I want to see the mail *before* it leaves. Hard

There  is  no choice. Hard returns get used at some point. At least in
TB  that  point is "up front". In all other clients it's either behind
the scenes or at the whim of a routing MTA. Whichever, it's out of the
control of the message originator. Give me control over random anarchy
any  day.  What  you  propose  as  an option is only possible when the
routing is known.

The  "attach  a  text file" work-around is *not* knee jerk. It is 100%

MY unformatted e-mails, don't be upset with the complaints you get from
MY recipients.  The Bat! is an e-mail client, not a DTP utility.  The
MY function it performs is that of conveying textual information in an
MY efficient and straight-forward manner.  Unformatted lines, Rich Text,
MY HTML, XML etc. do not enhance that function.

Standards were not taking place in the discussion.  The discussion
was on how TB's editor interacts with the user.

MY However, if you insist on long lines that will, no doubt, cause readers to use the
MY horizontal scroll bar, or view the message in an uncontrolled, and most likely,
MY unwanted manner, then by all means turn off "Utilities/Auto-Wrap" (Shift-Ctrl-W).

MY Should the demonstration in the previous paragraph actually work, my
MY apologies to everyone else.

You where demonstrating just what?

U... I would tend to disagree with this statement George. I've used
Eudora since the early days as well, and it has never been WYSIWYG. Eudora's
word wrapping at 76 characters is hardcoded into the Program, and is
performed *after* the message is sent. With regards to PGP signatures for
instance, this method necessitates a balancing act between PGP's word
wrapping and that performed by Eudora, because PGP's wrapping is always
performed *before* Eudora wraps. So, one has to find a way to eliminate
Eudora's wrapping altogether, otherwise the integrity of the PGP signature
will have been compromised.

I much prefer how TB! includes the hard returns, for it completely
eliminates the need for that balancing act. However, you are correct in that
you will have to remember to set PGP/Options/Email/Word Wrap each time you
use PGP outside of TB!, and that I too find irritating.

Not everyone would see the top paragraph, attributed to me above, in
the same way. If you turn off auto-wrap before you open my message you
will see only one line. If auto-wrap is on, that line will be wrapped
to the current window size at the time the message is opened. If you
resize the window, close it and then open the message again, you will
see the line split differently. This behavior doesn't reflect anyone's
preferences, but does demonstrate a complete lack of control over the
formatting of the message.

By showing the author a message wrapped to his window and not his
"wrap-before-send" settings, there is a possibility that no two
parties will ever see the message wrapped in the same manner. Haven't
you ever read a message that was mailed to you or posted to USENet
with Outlook Express using out of the box defaults?

Being able to switch the formatting from during-the-edit to
prior-to-send may be simple, or it may require a second complete edit
module. In either case, I, for one, don't think it is worth the
effort. I'd like to go on record as stating that such an option would

However, the editor is not what has really been brought into question.
It  is  the  whole theory of pre-formatting - one of TB's basic tenets
and  one  of the most fundamental and important differences between TB

If  you  find this basic concept unacceptable then it seems to me that
you may have chosen the wrong email client for your needs.

Well, no, I cannot view it as one excessively long line, because I am
limited by the width of my 17" monitor. However, I was able to view it
wrapped at 124, but again, that wrapping is a function of the size of my
viewing window. If I was to reduce my font size so as the entire line length
(241 I believe) would stretch across my screen, then that is what would show

For the purposes of this discussion WYSIWIG has become synonymous with
formatted text, although it is more than that. Nor is it dependent on
True Type, Type 1 or DTP. You seem to be the only one participating in
this thread who wants to change the practice of formatting the text
while it is still visible. While this is not a standard, wrapping text
at a reasonable value (65 columns, I think) is part of RFC-822. Doing
it while the author can still see the results not only makes sense,
but pays respect to that author.

I realize that you do not want wrapped text and would rather no one
else used it either.  The way to reconcile your practice with my
dislike of formatting that interferes with communication is for me to
disregard the rest of this thread along with any future poorly
formatted messages that appear on this list.

Hello Marck,

GFS WYSIWYG  can  be  done  with-out hard-returns. Eudora has done it
GFS ever since 2.0.

MDP This is literally impossible using plain ASCII text. Only Eudora users
MDP can  receive the messages as sent. At least with TB the message format
MDP is universally legible.

But how do you explain this:
I made simple text message in Outlook Express 5.5 and choosed quoted-printable
encoding. I've been watching it while editing and in Outbox, and saved in later in
TXT file, and everything was fine. I GOT what I wanted to! Even with 8-bit
letters correctly displayed.

Wrapping option (to 76 chars, by default in OE) was available only with
MIME/None. When I choose QP and/or Base64, my 'DTP problem' simply disappears!

I tried it (QP encoding) in Bat!, but no results, hard returns are used,
unfortunately!

Like Notepad with word-wrap...

2001-01-19 Thread Lija

Hello TBUDL,

The 'correct' encoding in my country is ISO-8859-2 with 8bit transfer (Serbian
Latin / Croatian / Slovenian... since we in former Yugoslavia use high-ASCII
characters and that's why we need 8 bits for transfer) and that's OK, but... I
want to write messages with automatic wrapping and that's also OK in TB, but I
want them WITHOUT CR/LF (Enter) codes at the end of each line!

Is there any way or possibility to write them like one long line in Notepad with
word-wrap option turned on, "ready for DTP processing"? That's why I can't never
accept CR/LF codes... Just one big line, but wrapped automatically when reaching
end of the display...

What about quoted-printable encoding? Will this, if I use, remedy my 8-bit
letters?

Thank you very much in advance, I've been bugging with this for a long time ago!

TB's editor is a WYSIWYG editor. That means, if it shows you a new
line, there really is a new line (hard return).

IOW: TB's editor knows only hard return (CR/LF), and no soft returns
as in Notepad.

Advantage: the mail will be sent exactly the way you see it.

 Is there any way or possibility to write them like one long line in Notepad with
 word-wrap option turned on, "ready for DTP processing"?

What is DTP processing?

 What about quoted-printable encoding? Will this, if I use, remedy my 8-bit
 letters?

Dunno. Why don't you try it out?
