I have a note to let you know if the email in MC-11 works now.

Yes, it does, but there are minor text alignment fixes that are
necessary to make it "recipe-card" ready.

As a retired programmer, I find it amusing that they haven't fixed
that yet. If I had their code, I could fix it in a matter of a few
hours.

I can only guess that the owners of the software really don't care
about it.

Jeeesh! A few "If-Thens" and some alignment code...how hard is that?

How are you liking the program? I'm curious, since I recommended it
to you. Incidentally, I have an older version and have never been
able to get the e-mail to work. Pity.

Maybe they'd be happy to have a little free help.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Fixing something like that is really beginner stuff. I find it very
hard to believe that they don't have someone already that can do it.
It's a matter of making it a priority.

Besides, there is NO way I'm coming out from retirement! I'm having
way too much fun!

I love it! I use it daily. What exactly does the email do to you in
the older version?

Also, what OS are you using?

I don't think they are at all interested in fixing it. The company that
owns it, to my knowledge, never was the company that built it. They did
change a little code to make it easier to load with Vista and Windows 7,
so version 11 is really still version 9 with a little fix.

I have the same problem with exports and emails from Now You're Cooking.
It's irritating to fix the alignment when I want to email a recipe.

Hi Janet, yes, the copy and paste method results in nearly identical
misalignment of the ingredients listings. The columns didn't hold for
the parts of each listing.

Its got to be inside their "exporting" code. Someone forgot to tell it
to align the columns in a text export.

Very simple to fix. I'm sure someone must have mentioned it to them by
now.

You'd think...

Not even for free upgrades for life? It's only a couple hours of your

hehe, not even for that! Besides, I'm so busy you wouldn't believe it!
I love projects! I always have several going. I couldn't wait to stop
working for someone else, so I could do all the things I've always
wanted to in the house and yard.

could tell the company. They work with Valuesoft all the time.

The problem is so glaringly obvious that it could hardly be unknown.
Since it hasn't been addressed, it tells me they don't want to pay a
programmer to fix it.

It's not a big deal to me. The information is all there in each
recipe, it's just not aligned well.

Purely cosmetic.
