Hi,

I was pointed to this module (http://drupal.org/node/189737) and it does indeed seem to do what I want, but it's turning all quotes into crazy characters - ”

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

That's an interesting bug, but I'm not sure how this module could have done it. The module doesn't include any of the code to do the line-breaking or text-processing itself. It just selectively applies the Drupal-built-in line break converter filter. Do your quotes get converted when you use the Drupal one and disable mine altogether?

Hi,

The drupal line break converter works ok, it doesn't produce the crazy characters. The problem is that many of the people who post on the site just copy and paste from another blog or word doc, so when the blogs are displayed on the website they look like this:

Here's the first line
and they keep the
line breaks from the
source document

Instead of this:

Here's the first line and they keep the line breaks from the source doc

...but in emails sent out by the system they're fine, so at the moment I have a choice of either the site looking good and the emails looking bad (i.e. no line breaks), /or/ the site looking bad and the emails looking fine.

Your module fixes this problem great, but as I said, it converts quotes to crazy characters - perhaps it's because they're copied from word docs and the wonderful M$ hidden characters are kept.

I understood what you meant about the crazy characters, but this module wouldn't be doing that, since it doesn't actually process the text. It just applies the Drupal line breaks filter. Does the normal line break filter also screw up your quote characters?

I think it's actually something to do with my machines as it's working differently on one than another so forget this ;)
