2 issues with new web mail

[virtualmike]

Two things I've noticed with web mail.

1. When I hit <Enter>, instead of a new line, I get a new paragraph. This "standard" was introduced by Microsoft, and is annoying. For all other applications except Word, I have to hit two <Enter>s to get a new paragraph, so my fingers are used to it. (When using Word, my mind is in a different paradigm, so it's not so annoying.) Would it be possible to give us an option whether we want a new paragraph or just a new line when pressing <Enter>?

2. I replied to an email that had several embedded graphics. The reply treated the graphics as attachments (as is often done for MIME email). However, when I deleted the attachments, the screen display did not adjust as I expected.

Before I deleted the attachments:



After I deleted the attachments:



You can see how the compose window moved up to fill the space where the attachments had been listed. I would have expected it to expand up.

Sorry for the delay!

For the first one, I think that's an issue of the behavior of the 'rich' editor vs the plain text editor. I'm not sure I want to be messing with the newline functionality unless it's a more widespread complaint.

As to the second issue, I was able to reproduce it and have added it to the bug list.

Thanks for the response. For the new line vs paragraph issue, would it be possible to check to see if it might be a editor parameter? I've encountered that before when rolling out a project that included web forms with rich text editing.

In both situations, the developers discovered it was an optional switch for calling the editor control. Depending on the setting, <Enter> could either terminate a <p>, or it could insert a <br>.

It looks like you're using the mceEditor. I'm not sure which version, but perhaps this will point the way:
