i post a number of email message to Yahoo Groups

Entourage plain text due to the non standard
addition of CR's after so many character. The

the message is relayed to the Yahoo Group.

The workaround is to use formated HTML text
and this work with one issue. Every time i use
an apostrophe (') s the resulting output
is a broken character.

Con someone provide a tip on how to send
a 's to a Yahoo Group from Entourage

I'd try the following. Select AutoCorrect... from the Tools menu. Then
select the AutoFormat tab. Make sure that <<"Straight quotes" with "smart
quotes">> is NOT selected.

I would expect this to work in both HTML and plain text.

Ed,

Thank you, thank you!

I changed the Entourage default setting and my test message worked
perfect. This has been driving me crazy and I really appreciate the
tip.

I was not aware of the AutoFormat tab options

Now if Microsoft would give us the option to stop the addition of
a <CR> after x-characters in plain text it would be great.

End of Problem - thanks to all who responded to my help request
.
