Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Thanks. I use AOL mail, so it's probably their problem. I recently installed 9.0c, the very latest version, and it didn't change it.

It is possible that the problems is occuring some where between the program that your are using and your email Program itself if they differ. One fix you may try is to contact AOL and ask then what email program they support and use that one if you do not already do so. Second fix maybe reinstalling your email program because thay can get buggy after awhile. Third fix maybe to use a word prosessing program that works and plays well with your current email prgram. Fourth and perhaps the fastest is to contact the tech. support people the your email program using and ask them what can be done. Hope this helps.

Gene, I experience that problem occasionally, but I think I have it narrowed down to those instances where I cut and paste content into the e-mail from another source, or else when I compose the e-mail on Word, then paste it over to my e-mail client. Apparently the difference in margins and returns creates some sort of mismatch. There was a time when I was using an older version of Netscape mail that when I would click on " Reply, " it would jumble up the quotations, but it did not affect my actual replies. Good luck, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hahahahah. I HATE AOL but I use it because it's the one that allows me to hook into it anywhere, and my mailbox has NEVER filled up, in contrast with my colleague who uses another prominent one and whose mailbox overflowed and caused all incomings to bounce. That has never happened to me. GG In a message dated 7/26/2004 11:01:23 AM Central Daylight Time, supervisor@... writes: I love AOL.
