Jack, I have "MSN Instant Messenger" running on my computer also, so my contacts can instant message me... and yes, when I get a new email I get a popup from the sys. tray (ding). Karl From: "Jack C.

I might do it today! but... I like the fact that my mail program "dings" me when I have new mail. I don't have to go look for it, in other words. Can Hotmail "ding" ya?

I started using hotmail a while ago when I started moving jobs, saves a lot of time having to re-create my address book, notifying everyone... losing emails. No matter where I'm at... I always have my hotmail account and can access it. good luck to all.

It is not what it does to your current message, as in what you type in the main body - what you are saying, but rather what Lotus Notes is doing to the message that you are replying to. Most common email programs (Outlook, Netscape, Eudora) simply indent the message that you are replying to with one single ">" (greater than) symbol in the left margin followed by one single space, for each line of text in the original email. Your Lotus Notes completely reformats the previous message, by indenting it, and breaking things up, especially in the header. In other words, it is not the current message that you are typing that is formatted wierdly, but the previous message, that someone else wrote that gets reformatted. And yes, it is really no big deal (as Chris is poking fun at in the parallel response), I just wondered what the heck was happening, since of all of the email that I have seen in all of the forums that I belong to, it only shows up on your email, and noone elses.
