From: gtr on 9 Jul 2010 12:28 I'm typing a letter in Apple's Mail program and inexplicably it has started splitting words for the next line wherever it likes. It doesn't break it naturally the way it has forever, with whole words being at the the end or beginning of a line. What could cause this? Example: It looks like the this: At the end of a line (without me providing a hard return) It simply sp lits in the middle of a word. (Like "splits" done here *with* a hard return). I've got a b unch of words split after 1, 2 or 3 letters, it is formatting to fit my open window. I'm not su re if it will display this way, but will bcc myself to find out. But format of received document is irrelevant--it makes me crazy to see it on the screen! Somebody help me out here... -- If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?

Yikes. It actually sends the email in this loosey-goosey format that doesn't respect word splits! -- If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat?
