Message   August Abolins    Martin Foster   Winpoint: strips CR in paragraphs   March 30, 2019
 11:09 PM *  

Hello Martin,

 >>> Absender = Sender Empfanger = Recipient Betreff = Subject Text = Text in
 >>> the message body Empfangen = Received date Erstellt = Created date Flags
 >>> = Loads of stuff, which would take 'forever' to document ;)

 AA>> Hmmm...  Thunderbird maintains the list as is.

 MF> So does OpenXP.

I guess the programmer/author never considered that people would ever need
ordered lists.

It looks like he intended to keep each paragraph free-flowing to adjust
dynamically to the width of the reading window.
To be fair, that's not totally a bad thing.   But it does mess up the
appearance of ordered lists, intructions, etc.

I bet the only way we can keep a list ordered would be to keep each item on its
 own "paragraph", such as:

[1] step 1

[2] step 2

[3] step 3

[4] step 4

The above should not end up munged when viewing with Winpoint.
