RE: Spaces after full stop

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

Fred,
 
Your message is prettied-up.  Bonnie's message was text.  I receive email in
the format set by the sender because I do not have overrides for how I
receive email.  But gee, thanks for taking the post into a direction not
related to the original subject.  That's not hypocritical or nothin'.  
 
What's really funny, is how my comments that had extra space between
sentences and after colons now have single spaces in the quote you provide.
Where did the space go?  Can one really lose space?
 

Lauren

In e-mail, the font is usually controlled by the recipient's e-mail
client. On my system, Bonnie's message was in a proportional 
font and the single space after the colon looked just fine, thanks.
