Forgive the cross post please

When I send someone a text message from my home computer to their cell phone
it shows up as double spacing on their cell phone even though it is single
spaced on my computer. How can I correct this? It makes it very difficult
to read and causes the message to be split into two text messages because of
the extra length.

Help please... Agunat

I don't text, so I have no idea, but...

Are you writing the
message as a bunch
of short lines and
hitting <Enter> at
the end of each line
to hopefully make it
fit the phone's screen
based on the number
of characters it can
display on each line,
or are you sending it as one long unbroken line and letting the phone do the word-wrapping?

On the face of it, this behaviour depends entirely on the
software you're using to prepare and send your messages. What
is it?

I changed it from HTML to text and it is fine now.
