Donna I'm still experimenting. It will take a while to see if what I've done works or not. But in the meantime, I went to Tools, Options, and then the Send tab. I chose messages in plain text and then went to the plain text settings button. I told OE to wrap the text a few characters sooner. It was set to 76, and the help pop up window recommended no more than 72 so I put it to 72. I also disabled the reply to messages in their original format. I don't know if that feature will have any effect, and I may turn that back on in a while to see. But I haven't had any problems reading this message back and editting it. So, maybe this will work. It's too soon to tell, but I'll let you know.
