reply formatting in Outlook 2010

[Gary Hillerson]

I set up my normal.email.dotm file to have 12 pts below each
paragraph, which helps formatting issues when sending emails to people
using gmail and other programs that interpret paragraph breaks
differently than Outlook.

That works just fine with new emails. However, when I reply to an
email, even an html email, the formatting is not applied. I can fix
this by choosing Format Text and then setting the spacing as per
above, but this is a pain in the neck.

Why don't reply emails use the same template? Is there a way to
template replies so i can use the same formatting?

thanks in advance,
gary

Replies use the same formatting that the sender used. There is no way to
change it, other than using the same method you are using now.
