Default This Message has Extra Line breaks...

I sometimes get an email in Outlook 2003, with "This Message has Extra Line breaks" at the top. If I
click on this to restore the line breaks, the formatting is generally much better. It appears that
Outlook 2003 is trying to improve the formatting but makes a mess of it. Is there a way to turn this
feature off so that I don't have to click to restore the line breaks?

Yes, the setting you're after is under Tools Options Preferences Email
Options. Uncheck the box labelled Remove extra line breaks in plain text
messages.

Thanks, I'd looked through options before, but I must have missed this.

Is this a general problem, or does the removing extra line breaks in plain text option usually work
well?

it usually works well IMHO - the paragraphs flow rather than break every 77
or so characters, so as you change the width of the preview pane or message
form, the words adjust. It doesn't work well on large, high res monitors at
full screen though as text is easier to read in if the lines aren't
excessively wide.
