I bet if you asked the majority of us whether we wanted the
"ability" to use an external editor or not, our reply would probably
be "What choice do we really have, if TB doesn't meet our
editing requirements?"
Then, if you asked us again whether we would ever want TB to do this for
us automatically, and without the need for an external editor, the reply
would be "You betcha!
I know, I know...TB is an e-mail program, not a text editor, but
the ability to paste text and retain your usual formatting seems to me,
anyway, to be a no-brainer.

Nothing much. I'm mostly a mouseman.
