Hmmm, OK, how does the following look in the NG? 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901 23456 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901 23456 I typed the first line (72 chars) followed by 2 spaces then the 23456. The second was the same but with only one space. In both cases the short line was flush with the left margin in the Mail Composer, which didn't used to be the case; the first instance (with 2 spaces) would have shown the 23456 indented one space. I tried this in a mail to myself and in the received mail the first instance had the 23456 indented 2 spaces (i.e. the digits aligned with the same ones in the first line). The second had the 23456 flush with the left margin. In both cases, selecting the text showed that both long lines had a trailing space. > /b. > -- The day Microsoft stop making products that suck will be the day they start making vacuum cleaners.
