2634.0. "Mail header formatting with ASCII files" by FLEX7::PATON_S (It's not easy having a good time!) Thu Apr 29 1993 10:58

    Perhaps someone could put a pointer in on this one.
    
    If I print a mail message that has a WPS file as the body I get the
    mail header information properly formatted with bolding etc.
    
    If, however, the body text is ASCII the mail header information is not
    formatted.
    
    Any help would be appreciated.
    
    Thanks

2634.1ASCII formattedIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Thu Apr 29 1993 14:5111
When you print an ASCII mail message it will be formatted as defined
in the ASCII EDT record of the FORMAT master.  It appears that your system 
is formatting ASCII mail messages using the ALL-IN-1 ASCII formatter.  This
formatter supports bolding by doing overprinting.  If you are printing the
file to a laser printer the overprinted characters are not bolded. 

If you update the Handling for your message to 'STANDARD ASCII' it will be 
formatted using the WPS-PLUS formatter.
