I don't!! I am forced to use vocabulary that people might understand. My husband needs *sound* broken up. My only blind computer programmer friend can process sound at a speed at which I cannot even make out words. It isn't that I need paragraphs. I need breaks, spaces - in the middle of sentences will do. If things are too close together, I just can't see them. They run into each other and jumble up.

Of course not! I wasn't moaning or criticising - I wanted to read what you had written and asked whether you could accommodate me. You asked what I meant - and we ended up here. For the record, this block of text, before I broke it up to answer, was difficult for me. But this whole conversation has made me realise something else I can do to my email client for special cases. So it has been useful to me. > -End- ;-) And please, no group "hugs" among strangers. ;-) Lisi
