The office that this occurs in has 2, as far as I can tell with this issue, identically set up computers.

One difference I have noticed is that when one of these computers sends an email, there are a lot of font directives in the HTML that the other computer doesn't use.

I sent myself a test email from each.

The first computer (that doesn't experience this issue) resulted in a message that had the same html content up to this line:

Code:
</o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-US link=3Dblue vli=
nk=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal>Test message
The second had this:

Code:
</o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-US link=3Dblue vli=
nk=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 f=
ace=3DCalibri><span style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>Test message
What is causing this "<font size=...>" to be added.

I believe that the issue occurs in the code that splits the message on send.

i.e. What is sent (i.e. or at least what you see in a "View source" of the message in the sent items folder) is a long single line

Code:
</o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple><div class=WordSection1><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Test message
Outlook then splits this as shown in the comparison above into mutli lines with the MIME encoding character sequences.

I believe that there is a flaw in the encoding when the number in a font size directive gets split into 2 lines. If I could figure out how to stop all these extra font directives then the problem will go away.

Anyone know how to do this?
