When I copy into notepad, everything looks fine. It is only when I copy
something into my email from notepad or the web, that gives me
the problem. I don't want to, or usually copy from notepad, but have
been to avoid the html that is showing up in my email, when I copy and
paste from the web (which is my problem). That works, to copy and
paste from the web into notepad, as far as the html problem is concerned,
but that creates and middle man, (from the web, to notepad, to my email)
and whatever great alignment I've done in notepad (like you see in my
nanogirl news email) appears as super long sentences, and double spaced,
the second it is pasted into my email. So I end up having to fix the text
twice.

No I don't use Netscape. I use IE6.
