Why did I lose my formatting when I paste text from MS Word in Thunderbird?

When I create a text in Word and paste it into Thunderbird, I lose the formatting. Some of the paragraphs have a single-spaced, while others have what appears to be a double space. Sometimes, the font size may also change. Any thoughts on how to avoid this?

Thoughts, Yes.
No word use to compose email. It is designed with a main function word processing program. To put words paper and it does it very well. In a most frightful manner, it does is convert loads of Microsoft owner formatting to HTML, using coded XML blocks which mean nothing else of Microsoft products to store binary data that simply does not belong to HTML at all. Blocks word of things such as links to OCX files (which sends anti virus programs bunta) it atg time treats every word in some circumstances as a paragraph and sends the family of font size and spacing of the paragraphs and a host of other information in a highly complex table structure that really should never have left Word.

I recently had a guy here to try to get a signature to the work he had pasted from word. 10 words and three images were all contained signature. More than 2000 lines of HTML code were in his signature file to do what could be done in a half a dozen.

Note especially that email does not send the police, nor does HTML, so if you select a font for the mail that the recipient does not, then, they will see a kind of substitute that my experience invariably looks ugly and unprofessional.

If the appearance of the document at the reception is important, there is still no substitute for the PDF. It is the only way to guarantee that the recipient will see what you send.
