If that is happening, then the phone or its user is deciding to ignore the formatting. I rather think there is little you can do about it.

Making fancy mark-up work on all platforms is hard work. Many web sites offer customised versions specifically for tablet and phone ("mobile") users.

My own experience is limited to building a fancy signature block that survives being shown on a phone. The default design circulated here at work was effectively of a fixed width, rather wider than a phone screen, and so behaved very badly. I have managed to make it re-wrap and fold so it behaves in a slightly more elegant manner.

Argh! The MSEL bug strikes again. The last post was by me (Zenos) not NOT MSEL.

This is very bad. I was logged in as MSEL and had access to his profile.

I am, as they say,VA guy on the street. Any suggestions?

What does a "guy on the street" do about it. Also what does one do when writing an e-mail to keep it in the preformat or body text, without it jumping to the paragraph option?
