SUMMARY
If you use Outlook 2002 to send messages that contain vertical bar or pipe delimited text in plain text format, duplicate sets of characters can appear in the recipient mailbox.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if you use the Outlook 2002 e-mail editor instead of using Microsoft Word as your default e-mail editor.



WORKAROUND
There is a new feature in Outlook 2002 that controls this behavior. To use this feature and work around this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Outlook 2002.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click E-mail Options.
 * 3) Click to clear the clear the Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages check box.
 * 4) Click OK two times.

When you tun this option off, Outlook 2002 does not duplicate the text that is in the message.
