Ah, I have that problem with Outlook and someone I am in regular contact
with. He sends an email with fancy formatting, Outlook says "Hey, here
is another Outlook user - let's only allow top posting!"
Try as I might, Outlook will not let me do a properly formatted reply.
My solution? Copy the lot into Notepad, then back again into my reply.
For a while, Sue S. was forwarding stuff here, which came out double
spaced. At the time I was experiencing the same phenomenon with Lookout,
and used the Notepad trick to overcome it (and yes, of course I passed
that tip on to Sue).
For emails which don't come out well formatted, then it's time to
transfer the offending article to my VMS workstation and use a decent
editor there :-)
