I keep getting complaints from those who use Outlook that when I

this or
if there is something I can do about it? Dumping on Outlook is
not an
answer. Folks are going to use it, no matter what we think. If
it looks
fine in SM it should look fine in Outlook.
In Word, you're NEVER cutting and pasting just standard text!
Have you tried stripping out the MSjunk by first pasting your text
into Wordpad or Notepad, then copying it again from there?
Yep that "fixes" it but then I loose all formatting.
Interesting that when I copy/past into Seamonkey it looks fine in
Seamonkey, G-Mail, My Android phone, and others but does not look
correct in Outlook.
Perhaps an Outlook support group could provide a solid workaround for
this problem?
Are we going to play the pass the blame game now?
I don't have outlook, I don't use outlook, but I recognize the majority
of the business world does - right or wrong it is the reality. We can't
pawn this off as "outlook is broken" it is what folks use. Seamonkey
should play nicely with it, weather we think it is broken, compliant or
not. It is similar to the way folks get their hackles up on the "this
website looks fine in everything but Mozilla X" - Mozilla X group "the
website is broken tell them to fix it, I'm not taking responsibility" -
OP "But it works fine in everything else"
I don't understand your rant. You have a problem converting data from
one MS product to another MS product -- and you're upset that someone
suggests you consult MS experts for assistance?
No I have a problem that the way Seamonkey takes clipboard data from
an MS product does not work with all e-mail clients and that Seamonky
WYSIWYG is not working correctly under the hood. I'm sure if I went
from Word to Outlook directly it would work fine. It is Seamonkey that
seems to mangle it. This is a Seamonkey issue not MS. My guess is it
is a Clipboard parsing problem in Seamonkey.
Don't expect a solution in SM - the developper think they are the best.
(if they follow the W3C rules, every other program will be able to read
it correctly, or perhaps a rule is broken :-) )
Don't expecte a solution in word nor in outlook - microsoft developpers
will say that passing thru SM have killed the clipboard data.
