If I say "I want to be able to hit return once" and you say "then hit it twice", that's not what I'd call "a workaround". Obviously, it's not only a one-key difference. We're talking of a typing syndrome. TB's MicroEd (any mode) requires a heavy modification of deeply rooted and continuously practised typing habits. I could agree with you if TB's way were common among all the other programs, or if I could use TB as my sole and only editor, but it isn't. I can't stop using other programs and editors, and I can't be hunted for the rest of my life by the "alt-l/double return" syndrome at every line I write, both here and there, in a way and its opposit. > I think we have a little bit of a misunderstanding here.

So, you do want something, at least something to be done just in case. And that something, the way you're proposing it, would prevent other's people needings to be fulfilled, since TB is very unlinkely going to get a fourth editor. > > "Usually", paragraphs are separated with one return and, possibly, > > an indent. > > I assume we're still talking about email :-) And I assume I'm talking with people who doesn't write only email and only with TB. The keyword here is "typing habits", as I wrote above. See, you're minimizing the most repelling obstacle that people find on their way starting to use TB coming from other programs. It's not a matter of getting used to a new program. It comes to a "TB or not TB, that's the question". > Only a correct implementation of "format-flowed" (as in any word processor) I don't want format flowed because in email - unlike in any word processor format - you can't specify line lenght as a paragraph attribute. We'll ever need hard returns at the end of each line to obtain wysiwyg in email. -- Luca - e-mail: p.stevens at libero.it ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
