Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / June 2004REAL question about posting
Oh geeze - forget the previous post, pls. ERROR! Why are the lines in my posts so screwed up? I've tried to figure this out and can't. One line will have eight words and the next only one. I'm using Outlook Express, but notice this happens in my email in both Outlook Express and Outlook, too. Can anyone help me out by telling me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! Figures it didn't happen in THIS post....lol. > Oh geeze - forget the previous post, pls.

Go to tools -> options -> send tab -> plain text settings. There will be a box that indicates how many characters per line before you wrap the text. Try lowering this number. Most recommend that it be no higher than 72 characters but you might want to try something in the 60's just to see if it makes a difference.

My settings for both mail and newsgroups were more than 72, so that may have been the problem. I've changed both of them to mid-60s and will see if that helps. I can network computers together and swap modems, network, video and sound cards, but I don't know basic email settings. Sheeeeeesh. No, that doesn't look like the answer. Maybe I should just keep typing on the line and stop hitting the enter key before I need to? This is frustrating, for such a small problem. > > It may be a line length issue. > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > and sound cards, but > I don't know basic email settings.

The hard return (hitting enter) may indeed be the problem. It sends a different signal to your composer, as if you were starting a new topic line. ? ? Thanks, Blues Ma. I think it was a combination of not having the correct settings in Outlook and Outlook Express for email and newsgroups AND hitting the enter key before getting to the end of the line. I'm typing this one to the end of the line and letting the system take me to the next line, as I did in the last message I posted yesterday. I think those two things are the answer to my mess here.

Aha, I guess it's just that dang Microsoft! << Thanks, Blues Ma.
