Thats probably how it's stored in the database now. You can tell a text parser to strip certain tags from the text, but it's not possible to add spaces at some places. Hmm, extra spaces are no longer possible?

There are ident tags now, you can even get a WYSIWYG text edit. I feel the text compose window should be bigger?

The WYSIWYG Editor only works in Internet Explorer 5.5+ on Windows and Mozilla based browsers using the 1.4 Gecko core i.e. Mozilla 1.4+, Firebird/fox 0.61+. It does not work in browsers such as Opera, Safari, or Konqueror which are commonly set to identify themselves as Internet Explorer. Also if he is using a Gecko-based browser with the user agent switching extension and identifies himself as Internet Explorer, the system will also not work. I am not sure if it works under the embedded browser in AOL either but it should as far as I can tell.
