cut & paste from Metalink

[pando]

Does anyone know how to cut and paste from Metalink properly?

It always shows everything in a single line when pasted, annoying

That's kind of expected. The paragraphs have no CRLF's inside them - it's up to your target application to format them. Word-wrap in notepad will do it, as will Word etc etc.

This forum works the same.

I usually copy and paste it to MS Word, then save it as text and open in a notepad....

It works for me

I guess will have to do the notepad way :-(

The thing is some of notes works find and some dont, not sure why probably because some have crlf...

Looks like TAR's get CRLF's inserted to make short lines, and "articles" don't have them.

Some e-mail systems do that too, so you end up with text that looks like:

>This is a long line . . . . . that ends
>here.

I usually find that more of a pain than no CRLF's at all.
