I am aware of the problem Mike. I'm not sure what to do about it (but
I'll try a little harder).

Whenever I post, I:

1. Edit in HTML-Mode in Thunderbird (so that I can view large text). In
text-mode I don't believe I can make it large enough.
2. Copy my reply into Wordpad and Paste it into the Thunderbird editor
3. Post as text file.

When I do this, as you've noticed, it does not leave blank lines ahead
of my text. I added a couple of blank lines in both places this time,
both in the text file and in the html file ahead of where I did the
paste. Let's see how it comes out. Bear with me, this must be fixable.
Sorry for your inconvenience!

Bill I use thunderbird too, just hit control plus in text mode it makes
the text larger.





I've been playing around with the configurations for a few minutes. BTW,
I use the SeaMonkey email/newsgroup client (which is akin to
Thunderbird)--not actually Thunderbird, but still "Mozilla", I think.

I guess it is the "colored background" feature that I missed (more than
size). I have a "particularly brilliant" monitor, and a colored
background helps alot. Looking at a 23" white background tires the eyes...
