How to stop text concatenation?
 

If I'm making a list for an email I hit enter after each line. If I cc
myself I can see that the received email has all the line breaks removed and
the part or all of the lists are concatenated. The only way I can see to
stop this is to use double spacing. (I do not use HTML in mail)

What version of Outlook? Some versions have the option to remove extra line
breaks and also restore them.

So, you're saying you compose a message of the form

Element1
Element2
Element3
....

and the mail is received as:

Element1Element2Element3...

Correct? In what format are you composing the message? You say it's not
HTML, but you don't say what it is.

Milly,

Outlook 2003. What do you define as extra line breaks? I would have
thought it meant where there were blank lines and not that it would do
anything to "split lines" which my lists are.

Brian,

Your layout is correct and I'm using standard Plain text (ASCII) Arial 9pt.

Milly,

Found the option and unticked remove "extra line breaks". Problem now gone.

Thanks,

Since in your reply to Milly you say your problem was solved by altering the
option to remove extra line breaks, I won't be pursuing it any more, but I
don't see why that setting would have produced what you saw. Oh, well.
It's academic now.

Brian,

When I read Millie's suggestion I was sceptical also but I did send a test
email to myself and the list was as the original. I'm wondering if the
problem depends on the Outlook settings of the person who replies to me such
that it is their system which strips out all manual line breaks?

Other strange similar problem I have had is where I edit and already
composed email. If I have used manual line breaks then later join up the
split line using the delete key, I see when I get a reply that my email
still had lines ending where the original breaks were. The can result in
seeing the following in my part of their reply:

The quick
brown fox jumped
over
the lazy dog
