bug about nonsense character and £; Adjust-click suggestion

Re: bug about nonsense character and ?; Adjust-click suggestion (Bernard Boase)

I want to email about 10 people.  In each case the body of the message 
is identical, and only the "To" field differs.  I want these to appear 
as individual emails, so I am not using the CC or BCC fields.

I sent the message to the first person, highlighted it in my Sent 
folder and did Shift-Q to "resend" it, changed the To field, and 
clicked Send.
   Repeated this process on the result when it appeared in the Sent 
folder.

Problem:  The body of the message contains a couple of pound signs 
(£), and the Resend routine each time prefixed a nonsense character 
(Â) to the £.  By the time I had reiterated the resend routine 10 
times, the message had a long string of nonsense  characters.
   Luckily I noticed the snag while all of them were still in the 
outgoing queue and could be killed.

A bug in MPro 7.08, I suggest.



Leads to a suggestion:  I have often wished that ADJUST-click on the 
Send button would act in the usual RiscOS manner:  do the action but 
keep the dialogue open. (*) The user could then alter the To line or 
the body of the email or whatever, and click Send again.

 (* Some sort of confirmation sound or message, even just a visual 
change of the button, at this point would be good. That's a separate 
suggestion I raised previously, which would be particularly useful in 
this do-it-again situation.)
