Double Spaces

Dear [Mentat],

I figured out where the double spaces came from in that “Can We Do Better…” message I sent you yesterday morning. When I reformatted the text, I had to put hard line breaks into the previously included text, to get it to wrap without lots of very long and very short lines appearing. The hard breaks however, your reader translates as paragraph breaks and displays these as additional blank lines mixed in with the text. The formatting problem happened in the first place because of the “> “ prefixes I had enabled my reader to prepend to each line of included text when I did replies. So I set Outlook not to use prefixes, and not to use indents in such messages. That way, the original (and presumably well-formatted look) of included messages should be preserved. I can resend yesterday’s mail without the hard breaks if it bothers you as is. Let me know

Later,
Tom
