Default is true, previous behavior. No breakage. If false, then there's no maxLength attribute for the subject input field. Manila needed this. <<05/30/01; 11:20:22 PM by JES <<New optional parameter: bodyText, allows an app to set the default body of a new message. Manila uses this to give the user a second shot at adding a message when they forgot to enter a subject. <<2000: <<4/12/00; 1:08:45 PM by JES <<Localized using mainResponder.getString <<02/15/00; 11:15:48 AM by PBS <<Add the HTML Editor to the new message form if its not turned off and the user is running a compatible browser. <<10/02/00; 6:03:52 PM by JES <<Added WYSIWYG HTML editor. <<10/03/00; 2:38:30 PM by PBS <<Support a choice of editors -- none, HTML Tags, WYSIWYG. <<10/09/00; 6:25:39 PM by JES <<New optional parameter: flEditableSubject, determines whether the user gets a subject field to edit or not. <<1999: <<Wed, 20 May 1999 6:58:21 GMT by DW <<Added optional param, redirectUrl. If it is not nil, add a hidden field containing the URL, so the form can redirect to a more relevant place. <<Thu, 20 May 1999 16:03:20 GMT by AR <<Added optional parameter, flShowFileUpload. It defaults to false. If true, a form element of type=file is displayed between the <textarea> and the submit button. <<Added optional parameter, fileprompt. It defaults to "Attach file". It's used as the label for the optional type=file form element. <<Fri, 21 May 1999 11:55:12 GMT by AR <<Added optional bodyprompt parameter, similar to subjectprompt and fileprompt. <<Added optional actionURL parameter to set the form action URL. If its value is the empty string (the default), we use pta^.responderattributes.urls^.discussPostMessage. <<5/22/99; 9:08:21 PM by DW <<Moved the fileUpload part after the subject, I want every new message form to begin with the subject prompt.

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
