Hi Karin,
On 17 September 2000 at 02:56:33 GMT +0200 (which was 01:56 where I
live) Karin Spaink wrote and made these points on the subject
of "New user, lotsa questions":

No we're not. These are *technical* issues regarding how the *editor*
can distinguish the next *line* from the next *paragraph*.
KS> In my country, you don't. And in my book, you don't either.
Maybe not, but in a plain text editor which offer paragraph formatting
you *have* to.

^^^^^^
Sorry Karin but we have *very* strict obscenity rules on this list.
Please do not use language like this here.
KS> There's no discussing taste. But as I said: why both have the

Fixed font provides exact WYSIWYG formatting and free caret helps
(most) or hinders (some) to format at will. Something else needs
explaining here: unused space is auto-stripped from the ends of lines.

I keep my ticker DSR (down-stage right) about 1.5" across. It doesn't
impinge too much and lets me at my new mail *real* quick. Ctrl-Shift-T
is the toggle. Perhaps you can enable/disable it as your interface to
your new mail.
KS> I don't want to have each and every header... I just would love to

KS> new. etc...
The ticker is not what counts - it's the virtual folder it lets you
into.
KS> Comfort me. I want a pat for all my brave exploring... :-0
You're doing fine. You're suffering from withdrawal and culture shock.
I feel your pain.
