The great soft wrap script by Paul -- not working now, Does he still come on this board? Great script, any one know why not working now?

Any other method of getting weird looking e mails justified properly?
Why does this happen still, I don't get it. You have long sentence then truncated sentenece. Usually come in with my Yahoo Group threads.

Paul's job has restricted the time he has to spend on the newsgroups.

Have you tried the built in feature in Entourage? Select messages contents
and hold contextual key down and select AutoText Cleanup --> Rewrap
Paragraphs.

This is grayed out for news messages.

Did you select _in_ the message body?

Thanks Diane!
Good point.
Unfortunatey, the Yahoo group with the issue, "seems" to be in html and wont show anything with a right click at all.

I say seems to be html because at top are links that you can click on to pop down to where the thread is. Yet I'm not sure it's html because I can select the text. any hope?

Doesn't work in HTML. See if you can select the option to receive in plain
text.

Thats an idea. of course the trade off is those little links at the top. my only guess why are are doing html.

I use those links more than I need to softwrap.

Of course, Paul script would not work for an html e mail also correct?

Can you repeat that?

What links?

Have never used it so can't comment.

On these forums at the top are bulleted numbered list of the threads. And as you click on the title it jumps down to the thread.

You might be surprised that the plain text offers something similar. The
TidBITS newletter has plain text links at the top that do the same thing.

Diane, I just testing the auto text clean up, re-wrap paragraphs, and it worked, but then I went to paste it into Word and it came out with the bad formatting, which is whole point.

Try TextSOAP. I use this all the time going from Entourage to GoLive.
