This message is being sent to IBM-MAIN in 'rich text' format. The purpose is to
test whether this email will be formatted correctly when it is sent using a
different computer at a different location and with a different internet
connection. This test was requested by Microsoft as part of their investigation
to determine why emails sent in rich text format are not being formatted
correctly. For example, the 3 middle lines in the following paragraph should
have leading spaces:
When I received your message, I see a paragraph, breaking at screen width
When I look at it in a Reply window, it shows as one long line, no breaks
This is on a line by itself.
This is also on a line by itself but indented 3 spaces.
Also on a line by itself but indented 6 spaces.
As above but once again indented 3 spaces.
On a line by itself but not indented.
The lines above all conform to your description, both on
original receipt and in the Reply window
As I don't have access to a mainframe at this location, the following paragraph is identical to the above but has been copied and pasted from Notepad:
This is on a line by itself. This is also on a line by itself but indented 3 spaces. Also on a line by itself but indented 6 spaces. As above but once again indented 3 spaces.On a line by itself but not indented.
I see the above as a single paragraph breaking at screen width on input,
and as a single line with no breaks in a reply window
Finally, my signature below should appear as 4 separate lines. The first line contains my name, then a blank line, then a catch phrase, and then a link to a web site. Thank you for your patience while Microsoft gets this sorted out!

I'm running WinXP Pro SP2, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14
with options set at: Wrap plain text at 80 characters
For messages that contain 8-bit characters,
use 'quoted printable' MIME encoding - NOT checked
Fonts:
Proportional: Serif
Serif: Times New Roman
Sans-serif: Arial
Monospace: Courire New
Can you just stop sending rich text? Plain text is the proper
way to send emails, as I understand it, both from an email
support and a security (lower risk) point of view. The Enter
key and space bar are great. I don't even use tabs, just a
monospace font.
