NEW Outlook Email Format is messing up

Anonymous

I am having major issues in NEW Outlook with the formatting of my emails. I will compose an email, format it properly, and send it. The receiver gets an email with weird large spacing, no spaces where needed, and bullet alignments all messed up. It does not look that way when I send it why are the emails messed up when received? I am using HTML text which has all the issues. I have tried plain text but it does not allow formatting I need like bullets etc. I need this fixed as I can not go back to desktop Outlook as it freezes and crashes all the time. HELP PLEASE!

    I am also having the same issue.

    I type up my email, format it and save it as an outlook item (like my other "template" emails). (saves as HTML)

    The email sends correctly, however, when I go back and open the saved email to send it again, the formatting is gone.

    • Formatting is now in Plain Text formatting.
    • The link I had in the body of the email is now showing up as a the name of the link instead for what I wanted the link to be named.
    • I do NOT have immersive reader turned on.

    I have saved all of my other templates this way and they are still working just fine, but the one that I created today is not working as it should.

    What gives???

    Please look into this issue, it is obviously impacting many users and started with the release of New Outlook. Posting generic troubleshooting tips isn't helpful. I have personally witnessed my HTML email formatting looking different (random line breaks, bullet misalignment, etc.) for the recipient within my organization using the exact same version and configuration of New Outlook. As a software developer, this inconsistency doesn't make any sense.

    I'm so frustrated, I think I spent way too long on an important email being sent to about 100 people just for the formatting to be absolutely terrible when they received it. It looked clean and organized when it was created. It could be a copy and paste issue with the message being created on the web based outlook and adjusted and resent via the app. But either way, I had hoped it would stay consistent no matter if it was created, modified, or copy and pasted in ether the App or the Web. I would really appreciate consistency with email formatting for Outlook. Please figure this out.

    Same issue in June with no resolution. I've tried all formatting suggestions, none of which solve the issue. As a typographer, my emails are intentionally formatted for legibility. When I see how it looks in a reply... I'm simply horrified.

    Spacing before/after bullets is exaggerated and unpredictable, sometimes creating large gaps and other times pushing paragraphs together that shouldn't be.
