Nope, got it within seconds...  So you should see your own like you see others.  Dan KI6X

Some reflectors do not send the originator their own message intentionally since they know what they said (but causes confusion at times too).  I do not know about SCCC one yet until I see if I get this.  Dan KI6X

Bruce here had a good explanation for why trying to format one's email is futile. I still, however, did not receive my own posting. 73,Bob, NC6Q

Hi Bob,

While your desire to format your e-mail is admirable, the fact is that each recipient's e-mail client formats the incoming e-mail as individually configured. The sender has no control over how plain text e-mail content is formatted at the receiving end.

There is a practical advantage to receiving your own posts.
When I first joined this club and its reflector, I tried to format my contest reporting so thatthe numbered columns would line up appropriately (using a monospaced font) the paragraph spacing was open and of my choosing I even try to take into account how it would look on a smartphone screen with a more narrow presentation than on a computer I tried to make it pleasant to look at and easy to readI first created a template in Word and even in Notepad then in WordPad, but noticed (this was when I WAS receiving my own posts) that the formatting got changed as it transitioned into a sent email. I even attempted to control my paragraphing with nothing but a period (.) on an empty line. (I did NOT change its color to white, however.) Well, I haven't come up with a sure-fire template yet. I guess I just wasn't persistent enough in working on it. It seems my monospace font (Consolas) gets changed into something else as it goes through the system. So, things are not easy.
I am submitting this as a sole post--not as a continuation to a thread.
Let's see if I can see it!Fingers crossed. Click Send.
