I use Outlook 2003sp1 with exchange 2003sp1 and have received some
complaints that when they receive my emails the spacing in them is way off.
for example it appears that somewhere down the line either my side of theirs
the email message body is getting lots of spaces added to the message as i
write it where if you were to print the message to a printer a one page
printoutr could easily turn into a three page printout.

I do use Word 2003 as my email editor. Any Ideas ?

Stop using Word as your email editor. Compose your emails in Outlook and
use plain text.

This sounds more like a work around rather than a solution.

I guess it is a work around, but the problem is that Word doesn't do a
good job of formatting e-mail messages for programs other than Outlook.
So if the folks you are sending these messages to are not using
Outlook, they will not display correctly.

If you don't want to completely get rid of sending messages in rich
text, use Outlook as your mail editor and change the sending format to
HTML instead of Rich Text. This gets you many of the formatting options
of Rich Text but is usually more readable by other programs. However
even this HTML is sometimes not completely viewable by other programs so
if it turns out that the messages still don't look right on the
receivers end, sending as plain text will work.
