Application Data

When searching for files in Win7 x64 the program, Directory Opus, will
sometimes go into a loop with the Application Data folder.

Such as searching in

"C:\Users\dex\Local Settings\Application Data\Application
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application
Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application
Data\Application Data"

Is it a fault with Directory Opus or something to do with Windows that
can be corrected?

You need to make sure, that the utilities you use,
are compatible with NTFS Junction Points.

In your example, the utility attempted to descend into
a Junction Point, and a side-effect is that
infinite-looking path.

Even some Microsoft utilities have a problem with this,
so being an employee at Microsoft does not give
special immunity from bad design.

Make sure the version of utility, is compatible with
the usage of NTFS on a modern OS.

In this 2008 entry from the Directory Opus site, the
term "Junction Point" exists on the page, so they
know about them. You would need to find a page
that tells you which version of their software
would be for Windows 7 or whatever.

I've notice that you and a few other people have very short lines of
text when you type posts. I'm just wondering is there a reason for it,
do you use a different client? Not complaining, just curious.

Preferences - "Wrap plain text messages at" 1000 "characters"

This means the tool will never automatically wrap my message lines on purpose.
Works sometimes, and preferred when I make ASCII-art. In
particular, GoogleGroups takes great pride in overriding
this, and removing any ASCII art white-space formatting,
ruining any drawing I make, as stored in their archive.

Header, ContentType - text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed ===

Could be the result of the about:config setting

mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed: True

See http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/mailnewsfaq/FormatFlowed
for details on behavior. I don't really know if this
helps readers or not. The hard returns I use probably
defeat the flowed option. However, if I quote a flowed
sender (GoogleGrouper), maybe the right thing happens
with regard to their text ?

The usage of hard returns.

I use hard returns for formatting.

HTH,
Paul

I use a "FINGER" to use the ENTER or RETURN key,
whenever I think a line is long enough.
Like just now.
LOOOOONG lines read horrible.

Does your client not have a config setting to help with that?
