Why do emails forwarded or replied to gain extra blank lines
When replying to, or forward emails that contain original email(s), the original emails frequently gain extra blank lines (Spaces). These extra blank lines grow in number each time the message is include in another email until it becomes so big that the emails become difficult to read.
This happens regardless of whether I created the original emails or not.

Hi gwap,
This is a built in function. GO to the account settings and Composition and Addressing and uncheck "Automatically quote original message" that will change that.
Hi guigs2,
Thanks for the reply, however, it does not solve the problem.
I want to include the original message(s) when forwarding or replying. The problem is that the included original message(s) gain extra blank line spaces between paragraphs each time the original message(s) are transmitted. This means the emails automatically grow in length with blank lines. For example: The original message consists of :
Dear guigs2,
Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Kind regards,
gwap.
When this message is replied to, and comes back extra blank links between paragraphs appear. For example:
Dear gwap.
Thank you
Kind regards
guigs2.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Each time the original message(s) is/are sent the number of blank lines increases.
Dear guigs2
My pleasure.

That is line wrap in progress and is caused usually by people pressing enter a lot because they think that is how you write. Although poorly behaved mail program are also to blame. Subsequent forwards and replies add text to the beginning of each line and eventually the line needs two lines.
After you click reply or forward use the "rewrap" option on the view menu top rewrap the message. (Ctrl+R)
Hi Matt,
I pressed Ctrl+R after clicking Reply to an email. The result was to double the number of line spaces and add >> to ever line of the selected email.
