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

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 know 
this didn't help in the least bit, but I just wanted to let you know that 
you aren't the only 1!  Take care.
Mike

  Hello Friends,
  I am using Windows XP-Home and Outlook Express.
  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.
  With Best Regards,
  Alan
