I paste a paragraph into my 'Cox' email and it eliminates the double space after the sentence period. How do I stop that?

Hi Roger, sites often detect that you have pasted text and try to clean it up. But if you disable detection, things often break on other sites, so it's not an ideal situation.

Does it work any better/differently if you paste unformatted text (Ctrl+Shift+V)?

Thank you for your suggestions.   Not sure what I did, but now when I 'copy' and Cntrl Paste, it seems to include the 2 spaces after a period!!!  Maybe Firefox was reading my online efforts to find a solution?  If it reverts back I'll notify you.  Roger
