I'm using Outlook 2003. When I receive emails back from
some people, my original text and signature is sometimes
very different. Smaller, different font, more spacing--
I'm not sure why. I suspect it is the email program the
other person is using but have no way of really knowing.
Has anyone else run into this and is their a way to make
my emails stay the way I send them?
Thanks

Consider yourself in the know. Of course it's the other person's mail doing
the modification.

The problem with your thinking is that you believe the message the other
people received is still "yours". It's not. It's a copy of what you sent,
not the original. It's not like it's a piece of paper you sent them by
post. Their computer opened your message and presented it to them the way
they wanted to see it. When they respond, the message is in the format they
choose. If they happen to include a copy of what you sent in their reply,
it will be formatted the way they wanted it formatted. There's nothing to
fix because it's not broken. Their mail program is working exactly the way
they want it to work. How can you "make" anything on _their_ computers
behave as _you_ would like?
