I’ve noticed a small issue with my email client for quite some time now where composing a new email will have several blank lines by default.
It’s not too much of an issue to simply delete them but hey, maybe no one had pointed this out before! So I filed a bug report only to get this response… basically it’s not a bug, its a feature!
For context, this is the “feature”:
🤮
This reminds me of text editor that leave half a screen of ‘wiggle room’ when scrolling down. Absolutely hate it, and if I can’t turn it off, I won’t use the text editor.
literally unusable
but if they ever change it, it’ll break a number of fortune 500 companies who rely on this behaviour 🤣
Not the end of the world if they trim messages before sending them?
It means you can click a line and type there, no need to press enter a few times first.
Not email, but if I’m taking notes in a text editor I will hold down enter at the start to ensure I can just click and type anywhere.
Now, if that pointless whitespace is being sent, I can imagine it annoying people in long email chains.
I’m not sure why you would need to start an email from halfway down the page? I’m not sure I’m understanding you but I feel like I’m on the verge of having my mind blown about how the other half write emails 🤣 Please explain further, I’m genuinely curious!
For me, I write things from top to bottom. If I want to do a later paragraph then I will simply write it in, then go back to the top and hit enter to create a new line
Mostly top to bottom. But sometimes I write the body of the email, then add all the plesentarys after.
Or even write the email, then work out who it’s ‘to’ on the huge cc list…
