Okay, I've got a solution! The first sentence that I typed in my above post was in Word, and it messed up. The second two that say "this is a test" I typed in Outlook in a blank email message, both in different formats. As you can see, the two that I tested weren't messed up. So do you have Outlook or Outlook Express? I would open a new email message and type your responses in there, then paste them into the forum. That way it doesn't mess them up and make you look like you had 2 too many Mai Tais!
