Resuming that rule would allow other uses.
If the rule has not formally changed perhaps this is a bug.

This is how the answer dialog decides:

Code: Select all

if "<p>" is in tText or matchChunk(tText, "<(.+>.+</.+)>") then set the htmlText of field 1 of me to tText
else set the text of field 1 of me to tText

Kind regards

Thanks, Bernd. Seems too inclusive for my tastes, but if that's the rule it's probably too late to change it now.

Well, I can verify that code hasn't changed since at least as far back as v 7.0.4.
I'm guessing it's just always been that way.
