I changed from Internet Explorer. Now, when I use my tab key, it doesn't tab over the cursor in my email message. There is a retry connect message at bottom right of my screen. Any resolution for this problem?

Are you trying to insert a Tab character in the mail?

Yes - in my message, I want to insert a tab for indention before a line or 5 spaces between words/numbers, etc within a line to make a list of information. Any suggestions?

You can take a look at the Tabinta extension that I posted above to see if that works with the email editor.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I installed tabinta and it does not seem to allow me to insert tabs into the message composition area of a new Yahoo! Mail message. No tabinta entry appears in the context menu while on http://us.mg201.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch? pages. I'm using Windows 7.

I feel like I'm missing something simple here... Thanks!
