Hi,

After all googling, I am posting this.

I am sending the email from mainframe using SMTP with record count information.

After receiving the email, if we open that in outlook counts alignment is not proper. for the same email if we open though webmail,display is perfect.

Below is my email card.

Please help on formatting the email while sending the email from mainframe.

Thanks for your time.

sorry let me attach the screen shots.

attached here the email sending from mainframe as well as how it showing in outlook.

Try an internet search for "proportional font".

Here is a count¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦123
This one lines up in the input box 123

Here's the same in the code tags (which preserve multiple spaces and uses a proportional font):




Now it lines up in the Code tags (adding four ¦s):



But doesn't in with a non-proprotional foint:


Here is a count¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦123
This one lines up in the input box 123

So find a proportional font, find out how to set it for your e-mail, and you'll be done.
