[SCADASEC] Formatting

[Ken Curtis]

Bob,

Hi Bob,

I don't know what is happening, but much of the 
mail from SCADASEC is coming through without any 
white space. It looks like one giant, 
single-spaced paragraph, and for us people with 
(far) less than perfect vision, it is truly a chore to read the material.

It's possible that because I use Eudora for my 
email client that this happens, but email from 
the [SCADA] list does not have this problem. 
Other email from [SCADASEC] comes through fine. 
Below are examples of a badly formatted letter 
and a good formatted message. I don't know if you 
see what I see, but the poorly formatted message appears as a single paragraph.

In looking at the email source, the major 
difference appears to be that the good formatted 
messages include the <BR> HTML tag whereas the 
poorly formatted messages do not.

Any suggestions?

Respectfully,
Ken Curtis
