Hi Richard, Thanks for the better example code.
When I copy colored text or bold faced text from TextEdit and pasted it into the box it doesn’t carry over. Of course if I copy the one sample line you provided that copies fine and renders fine. I also tried creating some text with bold and colored text using LibreOffice Write. It copied and pasted just fine. The rendering was correct but it put in a little more space between the lines for some reason. Perhaps I was using a strange font or something. The apostrophe problem went away too. I will have to do some more research with this. I’m not sure I can tell my users to all use LibreOffice Write when composing messages. Thanks for getting back to me!
