Subject: Typos in E-mail text.

Can you please help me in my quest for answers ? All of my E-mail has what
looks like typos scattered though out each message, sometimes a couple of
words will be repeated.
I have yet to find anyone including the servers people who can explain
what is wrong.
I am using MS DOS and Pine 3.95, no problems with reception and the DOS
does fine, I have WINDOWS 3.11 but as yet have not mastered any of this so
I stay with DOS until I can find someone to help me with it.
The phone company tells me that the line from the central office is clean
so I am not sure what the next move is.
Thankyou for any advice you can give to resolve this problem.
No one else has this typo problem. Computer illiterate, yes I admit it.
Best Regards, [email-masked]

Turn off local echo in your terminal emulation. The only characters you want to
see on your console are those sent back from the computer you've logged on to.
If you echo those characters locally, you see them twice.
