RE: Forum mangling code.

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think it's the forum because the sample Alan used was in a previous email from him and it came across indented to me.  FWIW, I'm using Outlook 2007.  Before the powers that be "upgraded" us, I used Thunderbird; can't swear to it, but I think the indentations came through fine there, too.

I'm not a real pro with all of the @#$% options in Outlook, but it may be some setting.  Or the email reader pert se.
