Format of the 5 to 10 first pages of the MS

When you include the first 5/10 pages in the body of an email, do you:

1) Paste it in exactly like it appears in the MS? ie: underlining of words that will be in italics, or do you submit it with italics and no underlines?

2) Use a page break symbol after every page?

3) Include the header of each page?

4) If the 10 pages include chapter 1 and some of chapter 2, How do you differentiate that?

Man, the writing is turning out to be the easiest part of this process.

Peace, W.S

PLAIN TEXT with a blank line between each paragraph. No formatting whatsoever. E-mail is NOT a word processor. Not everyone's e-mail is the same. It will get futzed if you fancy it up. Pages are nonexistent in e-mail, don't worry about it. If a new chapter begins, let the chapter title indcate it.

It's too simple.
