Oh cripes. NOOOOO!!! <CTRL><F4> replies to the sender. I meant F4. Are
you sure that <CTRL><F4> replies quoting only selected text? It
shouldn't. It should reply to the *sender*, with everything quoted.
The options I stated are correct, BTW. :-)

I don't know. I know about it because I was around when it was
implemented and was very much involved in the heated Steve Lamb vs 'the
rest of the world' tussle concerning it's implementation. <g>

Oh, what a hassle. But different strokes, so it has to be added to a
menu somewhere. :-)

That's when you right click the message. Yes, this is an inconsistency.
Also in the view folder window, the specials menu is a menu on it's own.
Another inconsistency. The Message menu in the main window should be the
same as the message menu in the view folder window.

JF> Curtis, do you mean it will have an external editor as a plug-in?
Yes.
JF> If so, could you describe a little about how it might work with TB?
PMMail is the only client that I've used which offers an external editor
for use. Firstly, you define your editor in a config panel as you define
your PGP version. To compose a message I hit create or reply to new
message. The editor window appears displaying everything else except the
editors message body sub-window. I fill in the addressing etc and then
hit the use external editor button. My editor fires up showing quoted
text or a blank page. I compose the note and close the editor selecting
to save the message and then I hit send. The part I dislike is having to
close the editor each time, for each message.
