G'day,
I use Microsoft Outlook 2003 for my emails and intend to do so until I'm no
longer around - read DEAD!
Unfortunately when I send a message in Plain Text the right margin is set to
6.4 inches which is driving me nuts as it adds a carriage return breaking
URL's.
I Googled "Setting Margins in Word 2003" and following the instructions I
reset the margins to Left = 0.500 in and Right = 0.500. Paper is set to A4
which works fine when I send HTML messages, however, Outlook resets the
right margin to 6.4 inches in Plain Text.
Anybody got any suggestions OTHER THAN use a different email program.
THIS OLE DOG AIN'T INTERESTED IN LEARNING NEW TRICKS! :-)

Rich,
You're the man!
I followed the instructions in the link you sent me and played around with other settings for email and it looks like it was
successful!
I've set the font to Arial - 12 pt as it is easier to read than 10 pt.

One solution may be to set the font for the URL only to 6 point Times, if
your email client allows that.
