> > Anyone for VIM vs. Emacs next? We could do mail clients? How about this -- mail client handling of tabs! Two birds with one stone! It will even keep the thread (mostly) on-topic, too. Bonus! I have actually needed to installed my own 'sendmail' script which passes the input through 'pr' first to expand the tabs. Why? Because some mail clients, yes, Outlook, are *incapable* of displaying tabs correctly. I bumped into this with my old boss here, when I was sending nicely tab-formatted emails, and they were being completely munged by whatever edition/perversion of outlook he was running. It was treating the tabs HTML style - you know, as a single character of whitespace. I'm *fairly* sure the default mail style was set to plain text, because I guided him on this, and we checked! Incidentally, the default setting of a proportional font for plain text mail is utterly hateful. Outlook hate deserves a whole hate-thread of its own, I'm sure :) Even from us types that don't use it, but occasionally attempt to communicate with those that do.. - GuyThere's stuff above here
