Resolved Unwanted vertical blue lines on screen

New procedure or technolgy that will prevent the blue lines from appearing? Please advise. Thanks for your time. Lis

 

Appreciate your reply, petec. Apologies for not being more explicit.


The blue vertical lines appear in almost all my e-mail? Using windows live mail. One or more lines may appear.

 

Sounds like Forwarded email that has been sent Forward more than once and hasn't been cleaned up by the sender. Neil.

 

Agreed. They don't have their mail set right. This is like the Carrets ( >>> ) that you see. They can be removed by you when you forward something or if everybody would go to Options/Send tab/Mail Sending format/Plain text setting and tell it not to put the > in, they won't be there.
You can try highlight all the mail in the body and cut and paste it back and this will usually get rid of them. I use a little program that rids it of both the blue lines or the carrets.

Blue Lines Screen Shot

See attached screen shot with vertical blue lines.

 

You have NO control over those lines. They are there because of e-mails being forwarded to you. It is from the Sender or somebody who sent it to them and they forwarded it also.
Read my post and also Retiredlearns post. That is what they are. In my post, I told you how to get rid of them if you wanted to send them to somebody clean.

 

sounds like it's an LCD problem.

 

Nope, Those lines would appear on any monitor. They are forwards with e-mails.
