Yes, Harold, I probably use the exact same settings as you do. I don't specifically change any of my settings from the default that OE likes to have. That means that if I reply to an email where a combination of html and plain text is used in the threads, then those with plain text as the formatting will come through as a "scattered" looking thread, and those with html as the formatting will come through looking a more "normal" formatted thread, no matter how big or small my read/ reply window may be. I also think that if different default character settings are used other than the usual 76 characters, then this will affect the "look" of the various threads too. Then there's the use of the enter key at various places to force new lines, as Clint mentioned, that adds a further twist to the whole subject of formatting reply emails. IMHO... lol
hugs, Lynne ... :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Harold B To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2004 5:02 AM Subject: Re: PCWorks: Open With --- Adding a program Here's where we come to an impasse in communication, which often happens in exchanging technical information. I wanted to know how to straighten out the threads and as I see it, you are telling me how to type a message (using the Enter key etc). I see nothing in the archives saying it can be done or it can't be done ... it's the threads I'm concerned about, not the current message. At this impasse, I'll settle for knowing that straightening out the threads can only be done manually (eCleaner, StripMail, dragging the thread lines around, whatever) until everyone, sender, receiver, and ISP (I learned this from Lynne; Lynne, correct me if I'm wrong) uses the exact same configurations for sending/receiving email. ... Thanks Clint, my friend; impasses do happen. In a million years I'll never know what you, and many others in this group, might have forgotten in computer tech ...
