   Hi Paul,   
      
   This day was completely turned upside/down. I woke up at 09:20 instead   
   of the usual 07:45. I don't know why!   
      
   I was to the yearly grill party for the radio amateurs of our club, but   
   I didn't take any beverages or such, since I drove there and home, and   
   was home at 21:30, and to bed the customary time.   
      
    HG> Now I could follow your recipe to import a text, into the e-mail ..   
      
   PQ> I need to make you aware of one thing about that method.  That   
   PQ> function is actually expecting to see a previously saved formatted   
   PQ> email.   
      
   Yes I know, because I've seen it asking for that.   
      
   PQ> The way it presents standard text files is a wonderful side-effect.   
      
   In my case, the text I wanted to import, was created at an OS/2 machine,   
   and carried over to the Win10 machine on a diskette.   
      
   PQ> In another test, there was an imbedded control character that caused   
   PQ> the remaining text in the file to _not_ be displayed.   
      
   Yes, I have seen that there are all sorts control characters in Fido   
   messages, when I've looked at the raw text in my file manager.   
      
    HG> But oh how cumbersome, compared to doing it either with the shorthand   
    HG> commands I have in my spine, or with the aid of the editors menu bar,   
      
   PQ> On the one hand, reading in the whole text file requires trimming off   
   PQ> excess text above & below the required to-be-quoted section.   
      
   I didn't have to do that, but I saw an extra line feed inserted into the   
   text, but didn't bother to remove it.   
      
   PQ> On the other, the text file is loaded into a separate window and the   
   PQ> required to-be-quoted section is selected & pasted.   
      
   Yes, that's the way it works.   
      
   22ø here in the morning, and 23.5ø in the afternoon, and a slight breeze   
   from the sea. So far we haven't had a tropical night. That is a night   
   when the temperature doesn't drop below 20ø.   
      
   When I get up in the morning, the sun has been up already several hours.   
      
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
