I think all I did was change 
mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support from false to true. I'm 
pretty sure I left everything else at the defaults. I'm hoping that in 
the future, this setting will make it so that most everyone, including 
me, can have it appear the way they want. I can't please everyone but I 
can try to please most everyone. LOL Dale :-) :-) P. S. I got my okra 
planted. Going to work on beans next. Tomorrow morning, transplants; 
tomatoes, peppers etc. After that, or the next day, squash, cantaloupe, 
water melon and such. Might try cucumbers too. Usually the bugs get 
those. I can't control them much since they fly in and lay eggs.
