plain text format emails remove extra line breaks from Signature

[PencilPusher]

I have settings to "plain text." My signature has several lines:

Name
Title
Company
Street Address
City State
Phone
Fax

When I check a sent email in my sent folder, the signature looks like this:

Name
Title Company Street Address
City State
Phone
Fax

Along the top of the email I see the message "Extra line breaks in this
message were removed."

When I click on the message, the signature looks like it should (with
Title/Company/Street Address all on separate lines).

How can I fix this?

Thank you!

Indent each line with three or more spaces. Outlook will not remove line
breaks from lines that begin with that formatting.

THANKS!

I also tried putting three spaces at the end of each line, and that appears
to work as well.

I must be missing something here. I tried indenting each line with three
spaces, but I still get the line breaks removed. I am using Outlook 2003. Any
additional ideas about what I could do or what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

I can't duplicate the problem here. You can try indenting another space or two.

Also, note that the line break stripping occurs only on plain text messages, not for those in HTML or RTF.
