   Hello Martin,   
      
    >>> Absender = Sender Empfanger = Recipient Betreff = Subject Text = Text in   
    >>> the message body Empfangen = Received date Erstellt = Created date Flags   
    >>> = Loads of stuff, which would take 'forever' to document ;)   
      
    AA>> Hmmm...  Thunderbird maintains the list as is.   
      
    MF> So does OpenXP.   
      
   I guess the programmer/author never considered that people would ever need   
   ordered lists.   
      
   It looks like he intended to keep each paragraph free-flowing to adjust   
   dynamically to the width of the reading window.   
   To be fair, that's not totally a bad thing.   But it does mess up the   
   appearance of ordered lists, intructions, etc.   
      
   I bet the only way we can keep a list ordered would be to keep each item on   
   its own "paragraph", such as:   
      
   [1] step 1   
      
   [2] step 2   
      
   [3] step 3   
      
   [4] step 4   
      
   The above should not end up munged when viewing with Winpoint.
