Will it still be possible to define item lists, indent blocks, > etc.? I must admit I forgot to test block styles in plain text mode. and as I can see now It does not work very well. That can most probably be fixed though, so lists, block indents etc will be possible in plain text mode as they are now with GtkhtmlEditor. The only difference is that you won't be able to compose a mail in HTML mode and then just switch to plain text whilst keeping all the formatting. You'd have to re-apply all the formatting again. (Theoretically, a filter could be written to convert HTML to plain text using the "email markup" - *for bold*, /for italics/, _for underline_, tab+* for list items etc....but it would still drop things like images (or it could convert them to ASCIIart :-D ) Dan -- dvratil redhat com | Associate Software Engineer / BaseOS / KDE, Qt GPG Key: 0xC59D614F6F4AE348 Fingerprint: 4EC1 86E3 C54E 0B39 5FDD B5FB C59D 614F 6F4A E348
