Re: Lead spaces and Outlook Express?

Re: Lead spaces and Outlook Express?

Microsoft, with all their infinite "wisdom," did not think that a line
of text should ever begin with a blank space, hence Outlook Express
automatically "moves it to the left" for you.

Despite this "bug" and despite a couple of other limitations, I still
feel that Outlook Express is the best newsreader and e-mail program
available.  (For the past half a year or more, PC Computing does too...
they've been listing it as #1 on their monthly "A-List" for quite some
time now.)
