I also get via email, but log on to the web page to reply. All the emails I receive have leading spaces totally stripped out. There is no way to restore leading spaces in the emails I get from this group. Any receiver who is able to display them in the appropriate format, as you put it, must have different settings to me. I've changed my email profile setting to "traditional", but that's the only option for that I could see and don't know if it will make any difference. > I am communicating with you with a hand-coded mail-client I thought replies could only be done online, since the emails I get have a link that says "Reply via Webpost" which is what I follow to log on and reply. I must be missing something here. > don't even know, what you mean with "right-hand side of the > delphi-en online Web page". (Btw which url?) You would know (surely) that messages in yahoo groups can be read and/or written via a web browser. I was trying to emphasise the fact that I was referring to the web page used to do that, and not an email client. The "url" is ANY url that displays the messages in this group. In 800x600 resolution, the web page has a link on the right hand side that says "Show Message Option". One of the options is "Fixed Width Font". In 1024x768 this is always visible without the need to click on Show Message Option. I now know how to make the web pages show the indents, but I still have the same problem with all the emails I receive. I'll wait and see if changing to traditional format fixes that but somehow it seems that the way you send & receive is worlds apart from the way I do it (which is the only way I know how), so I don't have great hopes that this changed setting will help me. I don't know which email settings you were referring to that will enable them to be received in perfect condition. Ian.
