Hi Karin,
On 17 September 2000 at 04:57:18 GMT +0200 (which was 03:57 where I
live) Karin Spaink wrote and made these points on the subject
of "New user, lotsa questions":

TB uses <CR> to end a line. When auto paragraph formatting is on,
there is *absolutely no* difference between a line which has been
wrapped at its' end with a <CR> and a <CR> you typed. Now, if can you
write a clairvoyance subroutine you could sell it to RIT labs to solve
this problem <g>.
Trust me. An empty line *is* needed. It's not needed in /other/ mail
editors because they don't give a fig about re-formatting a message
behind the sender's back, between hitting send and letting the message
out.

We do: list Rules, Item 1, para b, section 2:
2. Do not use profanity. Personally, I have no problem with
it, but this list is not the place for it. If a list member
is consistently abusive, they will be banned from the list.
KS> And now you say I can't say chili peppers? F**k.
Please - I've shown you the rule - this has to be your last warning.
KS> Good, and I had hoped that it would. But that addresses the look

Nope, TB does nothing to mail text after sending (other than
sign/encrypt and dispatch). That's why it can't distinguish paragraphs
during composition. They are the same as wrapped lines unless there is
a blank line between.
