Well, this still doesn't convince me really. Just because we can extract
some information and supply it to developers using TE.mcc doesn't mean
that this is correct. The problem is that the information you return
with ContentsLen is not guaranteed to be true. This is no matter of
being more efficient or useful. The problem is that in case ContentsLen
returns > 0 you can not be sure that the real content (after being
processed by the ExportHook) is really > 0. So the question still stands
what use you can get out of such a attribute if you can not be sure that
it returns information which is useful. So I still have to object and
suggest to better introduce an MUIM_TextEditor_ExportTextLen method
instead. Or you or anyone else comes up with a better explaination why
we should keep that ContentsLen attribute.

Ok thanks. Let us know if it still works on AROS or not.
