One can use it, and it's interesting (to me) to see how these sorts of "basic functionality" issues still bug people now, six years after I first started using TB! ?!? Wow. Ahh the memories of 1.39 and chatter of integrating a Usenet client... ;) Myself, I still hate the way the editor works in many common cases but chalk it up to, "hey at least it sends what it shows," unlike Outlook which happily (and often incorrectly) reformats your message before sending it. IMHO Agent had a really nice text editor, unfortunately they enhance the Usenet functionality and somehow utterly fail to put the same features into the email side. The biggest negative to Agent's editor, which is solved by TB!'s untelligent way of handling input, is simply that MicroEd doesn't wrap text if you don't add text beyond end-of-line. So I can get long lines easily, say if I want to post source code that has 80-character lines. <sigh> The more things change... -tom! -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.62.14 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
