Never mind, I just went back and looked at it again and it did squish words together. You said "Bill" but you included "Bob" and "Esmie"'s posts with yours so I "oopsed".

Hey, zMan, What e-mail client are you using? Bill's post rendered correctly for me, running on our corporate outlook/exchange system.

Hey Bill--not commenting on the actual content at all one way or 't'other, just curious: how did you enter your longish post above? Something ran a bunch of the words together, and I'm 100% sure you didn't enter it that way. I've seen this in a couple of other places and either couldn't ask or the folks didn't remember what they did. I'd just like to understand it! (And yes this is pretty OT but at least it's not political, unless we're going to blame &party for the words getting run together!)
