But, AIUI, the original poster asked about a "bug" in TB - the application not recognising a space in a link correctly. As my example showed, there is a good reason to *not* have spaces in a link; this, BTW, holds for any application. Programmes that interpret malformed links "correctly" use a database behind it, like in your example, the browser uses a specified field. I can programme such forms in Paradox (or any other database application) telling it "Use this field for e-mail addresses" or "This field contains web links". Paradox will then a) format the values I put in and b) make them live. The use of mailto links in connection with TB implied to me the scenario of a user clicking on such a link in a web page, TB opening and then showing a cut off Subject line. Which is not a bug in TB but a flaw in the mailto link. Or am I thick? -- Dierk Haasis The Bat 1.62/Beta16 on Windows XP 5.1 2600Service Pack 1 Shoot them all - let GOD sort them out.
