Plain text WYSIWYG - not so much?
TB v96.6.1 opensuse (lunix) tumbleweed
My write-email is set for plain text. Often , when pasting content from a console window, the way the message ultimately appears is NOT shown. I only discover the unexpected formatting when I view the sent mail.
[ An example ]----
== What I paste and is displayed while composing: Failregex: 1 total |- #) [# of hits] regular expression | 1) [1] ^<HOST> .*$ `-
== How it is received: Failregex: 1 total
|- #) [# of hits] regular expression
| 1) [1] ^<HOST> .*$
`-
[ end ]----
I have looked at the characters of the newline: It is a single unix-style linefeed, as one would expect. Why does this get expanded to two newlines while being mailed?
Is there a setting somewhere that prevents this?

Do you see the two newlines by using Paste Without Formatting, Ctrl+Shift+V?
"Paste Without Formatting" is not an option. Apparently it is "pure text."
Correct, Paste Without Formatting isn't available in the plain text composer. But I don't know why the extra lines are added.
