Extra lines appear

When I send an email in Outlook to a Yahoo Groups distro list the message is
formatted the way I want it to appear. However, when I receive it as a
member of the group, there are several extra lines at the beginning of the
message. I do use shift+enter throughout the message to eliminate the extra
lines, but the ones at the beginning are still there.

Also, is there a way to use bullets on lines that are created with
shift+enter vs. a hard return. I find that only the first line can be
bulletized, but not the others.

Yahoo reformats messages. For best results, use the traditional formatting
option on the yahoo subscription.

No, you can't use automatic bullets when you shift+enter. You can use
alt+codes (or insert symbols) for bullet characters.

Thanks, Diane. I'll try to figure out the Yahoo formatting...strange that
I'm the only one in my group whose messages get those extra lines at the
beginning.
Thanks again for your response.
