This formatting problem doesn't occur when I send emails to individuals. And because the default always go back to rich text, I sometimes forget to click the 'plain text' button when sending emails to IBM-MAIN. Because this is a pain, I've just reported it to Microsoft and they've asked me to send them an example of what people receive. So, if anyone is reading this message and the formatting doesn't look 'right', would you mind sending it back to me so I can forward it to Microsoft?
Just so you know what the formatting 'should' look like, I manually entered the following:
This is on a line all by itself.
This is on a line all by itself, and indented 3 spaces.
Same as above but indented 6 spaces.
Once again, but only indented 3 spaces.
Not indented.
The paragraph below is identical to the paragraph above, except that I pasted it from a mainframe session (just in case it makes any difference):
This is on a line all by itself. This is on a line all by itself, and indented 3 spaces. Same as above but indented 6 spaces. Once again, but only indented 3 spaces. Not indented. Thanks!

No.

Each of your first three paragraphs come across
as one long line. The next five lines come across
properly indented as you describe

The same result for me as for Steve.
