 IH> Hi Wolf,

 IH> Thanks for replying.

   Well, so far I've not been any help, but..


 WS> # Editor for replies = $EDITOR; or if not defined, start /w notepad
 WS> editor: C:\Windows\Command\pedit.exe

 IH> Looks simple enough. I wonder why it won't work with Textedit

 Okay, maybe try and put the executable into the Windows directory or
 another directory with no spaces in the path. May or may not help,
 but it might be worth a try if you really want to use that particular
 editor.  It might work with a shorter path where no quotations are
 needed.  

 IH> Sigh.

 Good luck... Uh, one more thing.. the DOS path for "c:\program files"
 is "C:\PROGRA~1", if incorrect, nothing will work correctly. And most
 of the time Windows will not report this particular error.

 Ah, should have read all the other msgs before replying.. 
 
 In DOS, the file names are also limited to 8 characters.  Thus the
 8.3 filename convention.  So, if I remember correctly, you would
 have: "C:\PROGRA~1\TEXTPA~1\textpad.exe" as the DOS path & filename
 for your editor defined in mmail.rc (without the quotes). No need for
 a %1 to tell your editor to pick up the reply text file, but you do
 have to tell Multimail where to put the REP packet and if the path
 names are longer than 8 characters, you have to use the DOS naming
 convention in mmail.rc.
