Hi, Ardith Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 07.08.2021 13:34

 AK>> I thought for a long time what had you meant by "double space at

It is the specifics of my quoter. My quoter can format the text to a
formatted form with an aligned right margin, and in this case additional
spaces are OK. Vice versa it removes additional spaces and line returns
when I want long line paragraphs.

 AH> as they are in this example. But from my POV it's annoying when my

 AH> (sigh).

I remember you like to write your messages in the formatted form with
the aligned right margin. It means the text alignment is turned on in
your editor. In this case your editor can itself add/remove additional
spaces for the text alignment, to more exact in those places it found
proper. You can try to switch off the text alignment in the editor
settings. After this procedure your text spaces will be unchanged by the
editor itself.

Bye, Ardith!
