Formatting & Plaintext

Post by Cheemag »

One of my Web EMail services changed its login and something else (I don't know what!). Whist previously I was able to mark and copy my EMails then paste them into Atlantis (or a text editor), this is no longer possible as the formatting is lost. There are no carriage returns and the whole EMail is on one line.

Using the Puretext tool to convert it to plain text does not help.

Is there any way to retain the formatting from the Web page to plaintext in a text editor or RTF in Atlantis ?

I am not sure that your question has anything to do with Atlantis Word Processor. As I understand, you cannot paste formatted text to other text editors in your system as well.

Possibly the problem is with your "Web EMail service" or your Web browser.

It appears that the problem is with Yahoo! Groups who seem to have changed the way their text is presented.

Fortunately their messages have an option to view 'raw' text.

I prefer to see EMailks in plaintext as they're supposed to be, not in HTML or UTF-whatever.
