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!


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...

What price paranoia.

If Thunderbird duplicates O-E6, then open up a trash identity that
only reads
usenet.

Problem solved.

At least it was for me running XP.
