html editing

[cbrace]

Hi all,

In comparison with Gmail, which I used for more than a year and am in the process of ditching, RC gets a few things right that Google doesn't: it displays a text-only message with a monospace font and it defaults to text-only when replying to text-only. Brilliant!

That being said, there are a couple of quirks in the editor that are driving me nuts.

First, if you switch from HTML to text, it rewraps the entire text, including the sig. This is a real PITA. This is one thing that Gmail handles without problem. You can switch back and forth without screwing things up.

Second, when replying to HTML, it is impossible to edit the quoted material. This not an issue with what I call Outlook-style replies, where you top-post and quote the original in its entirety. But due to force of habit, I prefer to bottom post and/or insert my comments between (selected) quoted lines. But RC doesn't let you add an empty non-quoted line in the quoted material. If you press Return, you simply get a empty quoted line, even at the bottom. This is really annoying.
 
Finally, in the HTML editor, if I reply to someone who is replying to a message I sent them, and they include my original quoted beneath the reply, including my sig, my sig does not get appended anew. And it is impossible to unquote the earlier sig; one can't "unquote" text in HTML. Grrrrrr....

I hope that these are not insurrmountable issues and can be fixed soon. Aside from the above, I am really impressed with RC.

Thanks for reading.

I too am having trouble with HTML editor. Word wrap seems to be non-existand when composing and you might as well forget about switching back and forth between HTML and plain text.
