If you were to count the longest line, you will find that it is about 80 characters wide.

So what is your problem?

The quoted text is the same on my outlook as I am using IMAP to getch my mails. The above is from Thnderbird. Is there a way to fix the quoted text on outlook?

Please advice

Thanks.

Again look at your character count on each line and they are over 80.

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem. Still haven't found a way around it yet. Its embarrassing sending email that looks like such garbage. Honestly why is it so hard to wrap the line at 80 chars?

No. HTML and Rich Text are unacceptable.
