<VV> Readable posts

[J R Read_HML]

Ian,

Yes it does appear that Seth (and others) are typing in a word processor 
(Word or some other and then probably cuts and pastes) to the email.  This 
can also lose the formatting of paragraphs and the like.

Possibly the use of WordPad (part of Windows) would get around that?  Might 
be worth a try - or just type in the email program like most of us do.

Later, JR

I think that's caused by selecting the option to use Microsoft Word to
edit emails in Outlook.  It uses so-called "Smart Quotes" that look
nice in word but look goofy anywhere else.  It also replaces hyphens
with em-dashes, series of dots with ellipses, etc that don't
necessarily have ASCII representations so they look funny as well.

Somewhere in the TOOLS | OPTIONS (I think) you will find a setting for that.
