[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Insert-file in sendmessage bug

nsb@THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM (Nathaniel Borenstein) (01/04/90)

This is a really odd one:  I'm running with font preferences that are
non-standard, so that my sendmessage is using andysans10 as the default
font.  All is well, until I type ^X^I to insert a file in the body of
outgoing mail.  After that, all is still fine, except that my entire
mail body is transformed into a larger (12 or 14 point?) font.  It
doesn't have any styles in it, so clearly what has been trashed is the
*global* style.  It stays "trashed" until I hit the "reset" button, when
it reverts to the smaller font.  Very strange.  It doesn't happen in ez
when I insert a file, but sendmessage's insert-file function ultimately
calls textview_InsertFileCmd to do all the work.  I have no idea what is
causing this bug, and it isn't fatal, but it sure is weird.  -- Nathaniel

(PS:  This is on a Sun4, running X remotely on a GraphOn terminal.)
