I sometimes compose an e-mail message in notepad and then copy and paste that text into my Outlook Express to send it. I have noticed that, very often, the pasted text in the OE window has been reformatted to different line lengths from the notepad document. Sometimes, that reformatting causes some very short lines and some blank lines. When that happens, I edit the OE text before sending the message so that the format appears more natural. I usually send that message to myself as well as the intended recipient. I have noticed that when I open the message from myself, the text has once again been reformatted with some very short lines and some blank lines.
I believe those reformatting events are caused by differences in font size between the origin and the target and/or differences in the width of the display area between the source and the target. I further believe that, unless you are attempting to impress the recipient with your composition skills, the effect is not worth worrying over. imho Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2012 8:12 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Blank Lines between my email message sentences Hi Alan, I don't have an answer to your question, & would like to know myself but, sometimes my messages will contain blank lines & other times, not.

I will send a message, and the recipient receives it with blank lines in between my sentences. Any ideas what could cause this or what it could be? Thanks for any assistance.
