Default Email Prolem

I have a friend who has a new computer. When she sends out an email
the
whole message comes on the left hand side of the page. Sometimes
there
is just one word per line, other times 2 or 3 but I must scroll down
constantly to read the whole thing. Also when there is a new
paragraph
there is a long space in between. Here is the odd thing (to me
anyhow)
her old computer had started doing the same thing. And, it is just
not
me that gets messages like this but other folks also. What could be
the
problem? She had someone over to her house yesterday to look at her
computer and work on it and she thought he had fixed it but the email
I
got from her last night was still the same. She is 75 years old and
just lost her son and this is very frustrating to her. Any
suggestions...in just plain english please....as I am no more
knowledgable than she when it comes to computers. Thanks.

James (for a friend)

We would need to know what email program your friend is using.

As Malke said, we need to know what method she uses to e-mail people.
Does she use an e-mail program, and if so, which one? Or does she use a
Web interface?

Also, it appears you are using Google Groups to post to Usenet. In that
case, please don't hit the Enter key every time you reach the end of a
line; it makes your posts more difficult to read. Rather, please just
continue to type; Google Groups will automatically word-wrap your lines
for you.

(Hitting Enter *is* okay when starting a new paragraph and making sure
there is a blank line before it. :-) )

Daave, do you think it could be because I used copy & paste, because I
copied that from another forum.
