	I've been having a problem in Mail with spacing and line endings.   
I've got to get it solved because I have to send out some e-mails  
that must look right.


	If I try to paste anything into a message, it looks right before  
sent, but when I see the message after sent (like on a mailing list  
or in a reply), many line endings are wrong:  lots of short lines,  
sometimes only one word.  Also words will run together, usually about  
once per line.  The problem is the Mail does not convert line endings  
to spaces.  Or it converts some and misses some.

	I had assumed at first that the problem came because I was pasting  
from Word.  I have noticed, however, it happens even when I paste  
from another mail message or move a paragraph in the same message.

	I tried various tasks under Services that looked promising.  I tried  
"remove line ending."  Didn't work.  I tried "convert to Mac line  
endings."  Didn't help.  I tried "reformat."  That helped a little.   
The problem is less pronounced, but still there.

	What's the secret here.  It seems an odd problem.  Do other people  
have this?

	TIA
