subject: 4.20 b3 instability (?)

Hello Kim!

< Have you any other reports of any instability like this?
 KL> Yes, msged 4.20 beta 3 is (in my opion) a flop there should not
 KL> have been released, 4.10 and 4.20 beta 2 works (the a few bug).

I'll locate a copy of the beta 2 and install it!

 ML> Looking forward to either a beta or a full release of the 4.30 
 ML> version!
 KL> It will be a full release. And I hope it can live up to your
 KL> expetations. 

So far, save the few "quirks", I believe it will develop into a
very fine product rivaled by very few other editors.

 ML> The personal mail scan in Msged takes about 3 to 5 times longer 
 ML> than it does with timEd on the same message base.  Any feelings on 
 ML> this?

 KL> Yes a rewrite of the personal scan code _is_ very high on my list
 KL> over thing to do in version 4.3? and so is advanced search like
 KL> Timed.

Thanks!  This is precisely the "active development" of which I speak.  

Here is another suggestion.  When editing a quoted message, is there a way
to have the internal editor mimick the way that timEd handles quoted lines?
 If I split a quoted line with the internal timEd editor the text that
drops to the line below is prefaced with the quoted initials (e.g. KL>
).  Or is there a switch in the configuration file that would control this
action?

 ML> logical), 15 CDRoms, Max 3.01, Bink 2.60, DV 2.73, Squish 1.11, 
 ML> etc. 
 KL> Sigh if I only have this hardware ,-)

Sure didn't mean to "brag" here!  I've been saving up for years
and adding a little at a time -- often buying someone's "broken"
gear and repairing it. (I am an electronics tech.)  Sort of keeps it
"fun" to keep the system running top-notch...

 KL> Make me think of music and nude girls ,-)

;-)  You naughty boy!  

Best regards,
