I think that Wanda must be suffering the same thing that I am, with
respect to e-mail formatting.
When I send to real people (people at my company, as well as my wife, my
other e-mail accounts, friends, etc.) the message seems to reach them
properly formatted.
When I send to this list, the space between paragraphs gets removed, so
I have to hit [Enter] at least twice at the end of each paragraph. It
didn't used to be that way. Started this year, I think.
There's an Outlook setting for that sort of thing, and I've tried it
both ways (checked and unchecked) with no discernible difference in
outcome. I can only suppose that there's something fishy on our company
mail server settings, or something that the Techwr-l list server is
doing.
This message (my part) should be a total of five grandly separated
paragraphs.
