Hotmail destroys formatting every now and then. It's inconsistent. I nearly always switch to 'plain text' and it still messes up the formatting intermittently. Leaving it at the default rich text is worse. I've had this account since the latter 80's and it was much much better before Microsoft took it over and starting messing it up. I had the beta Live mail for a while and it couldn't handle international characters like the umlaut u in my signature. It used to be you went to hotmail.com and you could log in without having to type in @hotmail.com. It also used to be possible to add your Hotmail account to Outlook or Outlook Express - no more. I just don't get how stupid those buttheads have become and how difficult they've made it just to format a basic email. What you see is rarely what you get with Hotmail these days. I often paste code copied from the Access code window or debug window and it often screws up whether rich or plain text. I had a pop3 account with my ISP and the first time I opened it about a year after getting DSL, there were 1800 junk emails in it and I'd never once sent an email from that account. I sent an email to my ISP telling them not to distribute my email address and never opened that account again in the 3 years since. At least I don't get nearly as much junk with Hotmail even though I've never concealed my plain email address even when posting at internet forums. Maybe I should try a gmail account but the liklihood of getting a sensible account name is remote. I guess there is no longer any point in my attempting to post code here though. This post is formatted plain text and my signature should consist of 4 rows. I guess we'll see...
