[mso] Re: Outlook: keeping separate lines separate

If you do a Google search on that option, you'll find lots of moans about it 
... especially the fact that it's enabled by default.

It's a difficult call.  I keep it turned on at work (which is the only place 
I use Outlook) and have almost no problems with it.  In fact, I usually like 
it when it joins lines from plain text messages, because it gives a more 
natural flow to the messages on the screen.  However, I can see where a list 
of things, separated by a single Return, would be a problem.

Consider a reformat of your message so that it's compatible with this option 
... paragraphs separated by two Returns, lists on adjoining lines indented 
by a couple of spaces ... would probably do it.

Regards, Dave S
