Hi all, I work exclusively on a Windows (XP) laptop which uses Outlook by my employer so I am necessarily saddled with it's burdens. I often receive email from Mac users who use Mail and I've noticed some things about the format of the incoming emails from this users.
If the Mac user has their "compose" attribute set to "Rich Text" and they send an email with SIMPLE text (ie no bold, colouring, italicising, etc) then the email I receive is seen as "Plain Text". However, if that same user with the same "compose" attributes send an email with some form of Bold, Italics, Underlining or colouring etc, then it will be seen as Rich Text and it properly presents as formatted by the sender. This is ok, but Plain Text wraps the line after about 100 characters and if the line wrap happens to be part way through a web link (sometimes URL's quite long) then the link gets chopped at the line break and subsequent attempts to launch the link fail as you'd expect. Is this experience unique to me or have others seen this phenomenon? Also, I received an email from another trusted Mac user, and the first 10 or so words are included on the fist line, then all text stops - midway through a word usually. The received email contained a PDF (relating to the subject of the email) and also an htm attachment. The htm attachment contains the remainder of the wording for the email content that should have come after the 10 or so words that were represented. This is very strange. Does anyone know why Mail/Outlook does this?
