"when I copy paste from the webpage into notepad (that doesn't even use
html) my spacing and rows are changed when I copy and paste back

This may help or may not, I cant be sure if this is the same issue as you
describe. I frequently copy articles from web pages and paste them into
plain text emails, then save them as simple text documents before sending
them. When you paste the copied text into notepad, is there a large margin
on the leading side of the text? ("my spacing and rows are changed") If
so, then I would guess you are using Netscape as your browser. When I copy
text from a web page opened in netscape here and paste it into a plain text
format it adds spaces when pasted. If you copy from IE however, it does
not. (using IE 5.5)

Subject: Question about Outlook Express 6?
I was running my e-mail through outlook express (5) on my Gateway (Windows
98). I now have a new Dell (Windows XP-Outlook Express 6) and have imported
all of my system settings (including my email client). I find that when I
copy and paste text from a webpage the html code is sustained into my email,
and get this, when I copy paste from the webpage into notepad (that doesn't
even use html) my spacing and rows are changed when I copy and paste back
into my email document (I was trying to use notepad as a middleman). My
settings are exactly the same as my old computer, meaning, under tools,
option, and send, I have plain text selected for both options. Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you.
