Irregular text breaks on Mac IE5

I noticed a reformatting text problem with IE5 on a mac. This is the
only place I've seen this happen. Safari on mac is fine, as is every
browser I tested (IE6,Firefox,NN ) on windows.

When a block level element (ie. a <p> or <div>) contains links (<a
href="">), IE on the mac will flow the text in a very irregular way,
breaking the text flow where there is no apparent reason for breaking
it, sometimes halfway the line, although there is space enough to add
more text on that line.

Anyone have a work-around for this? I don't like to worry so much about
such a small percentage of users, but it happens that most of the
people in my office are mac users ;)

Thanks,
Jegger

I can send (email_address,subject,text) to outlook express. What I can't do is retain the line breaks. Could anyone please tell me how to do that? Sending "\r\n" doesn't force line breaks. Sending rtf doesn't work because outlook express cannot deal with rtf. I would prefer to send ASCII across.
