In my emails through Mozilla and comcast.net, the &nbsp and &amp shows up as text throughout. Apparently where there is supposed to be a space the coding &nbsp is in the text. It doesn't happen in internet explorer. Larry Tarleton

Seems like you have a JavaScript problem. Are you using No script?

Is that appearing in emails that are sent by the same person or persons?
