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!

    Same issue and have to go back to old Outlook becuase I cannot copy/paste anything from Word desktop into New Outlook without the formatting getting very messed up. Super frustrating.

    This issue continues with one of our 365 mailboxes, but not the other. I found the immersive reader option, but it just opens another window and reads to me.

    When this email (pasted below) it is in normal formatting. When it is sent, they always look like this (Both to me, inside the org, those outside the org and across various platforms, but NOT in the 365 app or gmail).

    If you recall we also provide a recruiting version of this instrument to companies working to higher more people, replace the dead wood on the team or add a layer of management to the sales team. This is the process that wetalked about that is offered on a license agreement as opposed to a per instrument arrangement. The fees are

    It looks like this when I get it in my inbox:

    I had the same problems everyone else described, then I saw a box at the top of my screen called "Immersive Reader". It was on. I turned it off and got all of my previous formatting back.

    I hope that helps.

    I am having the same issue. I feel like it started happening after the last update. This is not acceptable. Sending out professional emails to businesses and they look normal when sending, but they receive them and they are a mess. Doesn't matter if I write up an email template using a word document or write up the email in Outlook.
