Hi Steve,
On 09 August 2000 at 16:56:34 GMT -0700 (which was 00:56 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject

Of course it does. I've told it what formatting I want in advance.
OTOH it also knows in *your* case too. You've told it not to format.
It's in our respective default editor settings. I elect to have my
text auto formatted - you don't.
OTOH, if I want it to *not* format my pasted text I press a simple key
combo (Ctrl-Shift-F) and I get an unformatted paste. That's how it's
/supposed/ to work. If you or I paste text into a formatting
environment it should be formatted to conform. That's simple logic. If
you or I paste text into a non-formatted environment it should be left
well and truly alone. You have only got it right for one case. I have
it right for both cases.
Out of interest, why argue /for/ the persistence of a bug just because
it doesn't affect you when its' cure won't affect you either? I can't
imagine why you feel a need to do that.
