Paul Scott:
It would seem that the Earthlink Webmail is very
spartan. It has no fine control over the system,
and refuses to set 'word wrapping,' let alone
quote specifications. I try to set a spacer
between the previous message and my own, but it
seems that it wasn't enough, before. I have since
expanded the spacer in hopes of providing a
clearer email. As for possibly fixing the
problem, we may all have to jump on Earthlink to
make their webmail more functional.
Sorry.
