[MlMt] Search across lines in compose view

[Alex Abdo]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to search across lines in the compose 
view. Specifically, does the search interface have a way of searching 
for a newline (or carriage return?) character?

The reason I’m trying to do this is somewhat arcane. I’ve noticed 
that MailMate seems to increase the number of line breaks between 
paragraphs in forwarded or replied-to emails. When I’m inserting 
responses inline in those messages, the extra spacing can be kind of 
distracting, and so I was going to explore using a simple 
search-and-replace to reduce the number of extra line breaks between 
paragraphs. But that requires being able to search for consecutive line 
breaks—e.g., “>\n>”.

Is that possible? Or, even better, is there a way of changing the 
underlying behavior of MailMate adding extra line breaks in forwarded or 
replied-to emails? Or maybe I’m doing something wrong that’s causing 
those extra line breaks to appear?

Thanks!
Alex
