Harold, this list is in plain text only, so fonts are not going 
to matter.  Most of this post looked ok except for the part I 
left in your email below.

MSword???  Geeeze, what on Earth are you doing??  See my last 
post on how to reply to posts.  In addition to what I said in 
it, like I said above, regardless of what you do to posts font 
or style wise, it's not going to matter because this list 
converts all email formatting to default plain text.  You can't 
copy 'n paste ANYTHING from ANYWHERE (other than a Notepad type 
program) because everywhere else has formatting.  Even in plain 
text mode emails, OE on XP is stupid and WILL show HTML 
formatting even in plain text posts WHILE you are composing! 
Don't ask me why.

Word, WordPad, MSword, etc, all have certain kinds "formatting" 
so you cannot take something from them and paste it into a 
plain text email in OE on XP and expect it to look anything 
like the original after it's posted.  I've also mentioned to 
you before to X out of the email so it goes in your Drafts, 
then just LOOK at it and then you'll see how it's going to 
look.  Then you can open it from the Drafts and re-do the text 
in it.  Or, toggle between plain text and rich text, then back 
to plain text again in the email to remove all formatting.  Of 
course if your replying to all posts IN HTML format, and 
sending them **IN** HTML format, that's another story....just 
don't do that.

Or, best yet, like I alluded to in my other email, just "Reply" 
to the post and let 'er rip!

Hello again (double spaces; it this only happening with me?),

I hope I'm not wrong in this. I think I finally found out how 
to avoid that
double spacing in postings. I know the last posting (notepads) 
has those ugly
double spaces. I'm sending this just to see if the font, "Arial 
Unicode MS" is
better. I'm choosing that only because when copying from your 
postings onto
MSWord, that is the resulting font. So it seems logical that 
the reply should
be in the same font. Here's good luck to this repeat posting 
:-)



Clint, the problem with Notepad+'s compatibility mode is that 
there is no line
for Windows XP ... it only lists Win 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000. 
If you know
where to go from there, let me know. I've seen others too: 1st 
Page, ConText,
DocPad, ShalomTxt, Win32pad, Xpad ...
<http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/webpublish/fwtext.html> ... 
the list goes
on and on and they're all good. I've had the Metapad exe file 
for a long time
(in the flash drive storage box) and using Notepad+ for years - 
habit, habit,
habit. Metapad looks good (considering that it seems Notepad+ 
is not for
Win98); just tell me how to install it in XP
