Hi Jim Well without having a message opened go to tools then options then then the send tab under plain text uncheck indent with There is a combo box of = . ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 9:18 PM Subject: The equals problem! Hi, not sure why my messages have these symbols in them. I am using out look xp with everything set to plain text. If any one has any ideas why this is happening I would like to know. This is the only list where I am having this problem. It seems also that some people on the list find it annoying enough to generate at least four messages about it a week and one person claims that he finds my messages incomprehensible with them. So if some one can point me in the right direction to getting rid of them I would be grateful. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
