Thanks Patrick-- not sure how to retain Word formatting in an email. The conjoined words problem only happens with this listserve. Doesn't happen with any other email I send or post. It's strange. Maybe a glitch between Poetry Etc and AOL formatting? When I send the email to myself, the formatting is fine. So strange.
