ordered list looks broken for some email recipients
in [Outlook]
|
From: biff on 8 Mar 2010 14:28 An email message was sent to a few people and copied to someone else. The email message had an ordered list in it. Most people got the email and the ordered list was displayed properly. One person who got the email had the ordered list broken where the number two for the second item in the list was supposed to start. How could it be that the same message looks different for one of the recipients resulting in the ordered list being broken?

From: biff on 8 Mar 2010 16:50 The version used to compose the email was Outlook 2007. The receiver who had the problem has Outlook 2003 but I tested another receiver of the message with Outlook 2003 and it looked fine for them. I don't understand how it could look different for one of the receivers and not the other.
