Doug,

Yes, that worked -- I pasted it into Word 97 and it conformed to the
margins. Also pasted it into OpenOffice Writer 2.4 but the text again went
off the page on the right -- although it recognized the left margin, it paid
no attention to the right. Interesting.

Thanks.

Jack

Other than Bruce's answer...if you do a Control A to highlight
the message...do a copy and paste into Notepad, you "may" get
the message in its entirety. It worked for me once. If it is a
screen capture or scanned "image" file and not an actual text
file it most likely is not complete and you wont be able to read
the right-hand side "cause it ain't there".

I received an email that is too big for the screen and cannot
be scrolled
horizontally to read that part on the right-hand side. Why
can't it be
scrolled over? What causes this in the first place?

Robert,

I tried this also, but the text went off the screen to the right with no way
to scroll over. The Alt-a, Alt-c then paste into Word (see above) did work
though.

Thanks.

You could try opening it in your browser.
You can't drag it directly to your browser.
Use Forward as attachment first (Alt-M,d)
and then drag that (.eml attachment) to your browser.


Why can't it be scrolled over? What causes this in the first place?


Probably quirks in the HTML used in the E-mail
and deficiencies in OE's HTML support.

Good luck

Jack,

Great, I'm glad it worked. If the sender wants to send WORD
files to you, it might be better to send them as attachments. Or
convert to plain text files, if he wants to paste into OE.

Using which browser? Do you have a mouse with Middleclick available?
(Sometimes even when IE has no scrollbars, AutoScroll started by Middleclick
does work.) Alternatively, in IE8 you could try using things such as
View, Style, No Style (Alt-V,y,N) or F12 or F7 (Caret Browsing mode)

Actually this just reminded me of a solution which is probably available
in OE too: just forward it (e.g. press Ctrl-f) and you will be able to
reformat whatever it is in your "reply" composition window.
At the very least you would then be able to use OE's Source tab
to edit the HTML to make it flow, e.g. delete any PRE and /PRE
tags.

You mean Ctrl-a,Ctrl-c. (Typo.) ; )



Thanks.

Jack


You're welcome.
