The only real alternative is to open the messages into their own window. 3-column-view plaintext looks bad on small screens, great on large screens. It looks terrible on my 12-inch iBook, wonderful on 17" and higher. 15" should be fine if you extend the window full-width, I think - don't know about 14". You could Hide Folders pane on a small screen - that's another alternative. Even on my 12" screen, that looks just fine. Occasionally you'll notice that plaintext sent from certain email programs (usually Eudora) soft-wraps like HTML does, but is plaintext. That's because the email program in question can do 'format=flowed' and the user has chosen to use it. Very soon Outlook Express Windows will have format=flowed (it's already in public beta) so you may start to get more of these sometime soon. Send a Feedback request via Help menu if you'd like Entourage to offer format=flowed too. The more people request it, the better its chances. (Entourage can already _read_ format=flowed.) -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
