Default Default edit setting to bar skipped line changes??

Issue: (OS= W2K SP4) Whenever I send my carefully edited emails, the
'sent' output produces unwanted line changes in the middle of a line - like
so:

EXAMPLE:
Whenever I send my carefully edited emails, the 'sent'
output produces unwanted line
changes in the middle of a line - like so:

Questions:
What font and editing settings in OE will most likely prevent that behavior?
Will HTML (Rich text) or Plain Text behave the same on this issue?
If I begin editing & email in MS Word, do I need to use the same suggested
OE settings?


Thanks - Blithe

That happens when you either copy/paste text into OE or you use the
Enter key at any point other than the end of a paragraph.

OE wraps the text when written to the Outbox.

You may see some improvement if in Tools, Options, Send, Mail, Plain
Text settings to switch to MIME Quoted-printable. But even there it
will depend on the mail client the recipient is using and the size of
the message reading window.

The bottom line is that e-mail is not designed for "carefully edited"
messages. If the layout is critical, attach a Word document or PDF.
but then, some recipients won't read attachments.
