That GIF depicts exactly that /to which/ I am referring [with 2, er..., *3*
R's, thank you]; I am using Classic view and see those very same dotted
vertical lines.

Your "bug" is once again a <ahem> feature: You use 'Read all messages in
Plain Text' setting, Jimbo, I do not. <wink> In that setting, you can't
change the font displayed when reading messages and IIRC it can also screw,
er..., affect printing of OE messages.

Once again, I shall send this reply in Unicode (UTF-8). Disable "Read all
in Plain Text" and then open this reply.

[You've come a long way, Jim, from wondering why the h*** OE was denying you
access to attachments! <g> Nice work.]
