It's a combination of things - crap HTML emails sent out by Yahoo (in order to fit their advertising in they enclose the message in various tables etc.) and an Evo editor that is less than optimal when composing replies to HTML messages involving tables. There are moves to change the editor that Evo uses (or there are plugins around to use an external editor - never tried them though), I believe that is destined for 2.32 or 2.34 (or something). You could also persuade your friend to use a more standards compliant mail host :-) P. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
