I thought it was just Outlook that does this, I didn't know that Kmail could be just as bad.
Everybody else in the company is on Outlook, through Exchange Server. Is it possible that my KMail output is being mangled by a trip (or two) through that server?
Yes, that is very possible.
I'll pay a closer attention in future, but I **think** I've seen the broken reformat on incoming messages. Anyway, incoming or outgoing, one of the reasons that I write short lines and put hard returns at the end of each line... is that I was on Outlook for years and wanted to "cure" that problem, pre-emptively (i.e., as a courtesy to other readers).
It seems to work this time.
I know that Exchange Server affects a number of parameters of mail from Outlook itself, even settings that you would think should be set at the client level.
Yeah, and to think at one time people got angry because sendmail would add a '>' before 'From' when it started a line. That was considered wrong because a MTA should not do anything with the mail body. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven Registered Linux user# 99872 http://counter.li.org ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E.
