Vista - Drafts do not save in the way I type them

Drafts do not save in the way I type them

I find that there are random large spaces throughout my draft emails. Also,
and I find this to be very irritating, paragraphs which I KNOW I have
properly made have been lumped together so that the whole email is one (or a
few) really massive paragraphs.

I do tend to save some exceptionally long emails - would that have anything
to do with the problem, and can anyone suggest how to fix it? It is such a
pain to have to go through something I've already painstakingly typed, only
to have to reformat it again.

Re: Drafts do not save in the way I type them

Sorry, I forgot about all that.

The operating system is Vista Home Premium, WLM version is not known (how
can you tell? Sorry again - not an expert here by any means!) it's Hotmail
through WLM if that helps. Also, the laptop I'm using is newish (late last
year), hope that helps.

Text email, not HTML.
