Hi AlmostBob,

Thank you for your elaborate explanation.
Would it be advisable then to compose my tests first is, say, Wordpad adn
copy that into the mail that I want ot forward? Will that way guard against
unwanted nbsp-spaces? I would be grateful if you could suggest another way,
if this is not the easiest way to get rid of these nbsp-spaces in my texts!
Thank you in advance!

The HTML generator in OE attempts to accommodate human typing.
html treats leading spaces and trailing spaces as non existent
and multiple spaces as a single space. tabs and multiple spaces must be
created from html entities
{space}d would display as d. when text is entered.
the received message would not match the senders displayed preview if sent
as typed, the generator inserts a no-break space or em-space  
appropriate to the text typed .
unfortunately if you type {space}{space}{space} at least 2 of them must be
coded as no-break space or the rendered html at the receiver would be only
one space.
and then later go back and edit out one or more spaces, or edit the text so
that leading spaces are removed, the no-break space may remain. creating a
received image that does not match the senders version.
The same problem the generator was supposed to remedy
is useful to keep telephone numbers on one line
(999) 999 9999 will always display on a single line

I have a question about spaces typed in HTML-mode in OE (6.00.2600.00 / XP
Home 2002 SP2). At numerous places my text appears to contain normal
spaces
but also 'locked spaces' (transcripted in HTML as 'ampersand-nbsp;'),
which
influence the preferred layout in a negative manner. I don't know how and
when these 'ampersand-nbsp;'s appear in my text, but I don't want them. I
want normal spaces that allow text to be broken to the next line. How can
I
avoide these locked spaces arrive in my text?
TIA
