What is it with you lintards and arses?
Advice: try Fwank!

Franker the Wanker, the uber-Windows zealot was obsessed with
wanting to shove things in people's asses......

......it has nothing to do with Linux.

Besides, it was you that took a standard cussing putdown and
expanded on it just like Frank would, to expose your real
desires.

Are you the next Frank ?

That's odd... his post comes in well formatted here.

I see the same problem Char mentioned. I believe it's the new version of
Windows Live Mail doesn't handle Newsgroups postings well at all. I've
seen a lot of complaints about across various groups.

Your right and the solution is to downgrade WLM to WLM 2009:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_windows_live_mail/8305/
Windows Live Mail 2009
Microsoft Corporation - 1.19MB (Freeware)
(settings, accounts e.t.c. will be saved, if you uninstall Windows Live Mail
15.4.3502.922)

Bettablue's post comes across perfectly here with none of the issues that you
describe

No offense intended, Peter, but I don't believe that. OE, as the
receiving client in this case, can't magically fix all of the issues
that WLM 15, as the sending client, created and spewed forth.

Trust me, it most certainly doesn't, as evidenced by what you included
above. What part of that is well formatted? None of it, that's what.

OE6 with OE-Quotefix fixes WLM 15's mess.

Cool, but I'd have to see it to believe it. There's just too much
wrong for me to believe it can fix all of it.

OE6 = XP
WM (without "L"), Vista, with OE-Quotefix fixes WLM 15's mess too.
Seems possible to get WM in Windows 7, haven't tried it yet!
<aside>
You are the Windows Live Mail 14.0.8117.416 chrisv, not the COLA "turd".
Well, I might *plonk* you anyway! ;-)

chrisv is the most popular name on UseNet.

[Char Jackson]

chrisv is the most popular name on UseNet.

I can't imagine which definition of popular you might be referring to,
or what your basis for making the claim might be. It certainly isn't
the most common or well liked, for example.

If you read multiple groups, you'll see chrisv posts in almost any froup you
choose. It's also the most forged nim you'll run across; pretty popular.

I read multiple groups and haven't found that to be the case.

Nope, sorry,

One of those annoyances that may never get fixed, or get fixed by a
third party
like quote-fix for OE 6.

Sun has always taken the source code from the Mozilla group and made sure
everything is working correctly and if something doesn't ... they fix it.
So from my viewing, everything looks fine.

Showing my ignorance here, but I didn't know Sun had their own version
of Thunderbird, or that they had any kind of Mozilla project at all.
User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (X11/20091118)

What I find most odd, though, is that while you said bettablue's post
came through properly formatted for you, when you replied to it the
formatting got all messed up again, so the fixes were apparently only
local to you and not preserved for follow-ups.

To be fair,I am not seeing any issues with the posting in question. I use OE and
have DG's Quote Fix installed and I see nothing wrong. BUT.when WLM came out and I
tried it,as fast as I tried it is as fast I got rid of it. It was so full of issues
and much more than OE ever was,and knowing how the MS team with their history on OE
was,I got rid of it A.S.A.P.
Good to know that they fixed everything in Live Mail (Sarcastically saying)

I hear what you're saying, but OE+QF won't fix the mess that was
bettablue's post. It helps, but it's not a miracle worker. Notice that
the folks who said OE+QF was able to fix everything up weren't able to
post a corrected version of her post, so I'm very skeptical.

Thanks, I totally agree. It looks like MS gave WLM development to the
college interns and skipped any type of supervision.
