Email formatting gone wrong

Members don't see this ad.

So I sent an email to adcoms via gmail and gmail messed up my format after sent (it looked fine when I sent it and in my gmail broswer). The sent email has different fonts, sizes and spacing etc.

This is what it kind of looks like

Clearly this is very unprofessional...should I be concerned? and should I send back an apology email about the formatting issue?
I only realize it after when I saw their reply back email (althought the original message in my email still looks fine).

Thanks!

IF you want, just tell them there was an error in the email formatting. I don't see how this would be a problem

Okay! or maybe I should just hope they know it was an error? I think im overthinking this LOL...

If you sent it to an ADCOM, they probably get a large influx of emails, and since they already responded I am not sure if it would be neccessary to explain; however, I don't think it would be innapropriate. Were you using an external word proccessor to construct the message? If so, in the future, always right click and "paste as plain text" to avoid this problem.

ok yup I copy and paste from word.. then made it as plain text and then continued to edit.... which still caused the problems..

Its still fine on my end (gmail window) and semi okay on a iphone browswer (font is different throughout) but other email servers it looks like that :/

Well nothing I can do now.. Thanks again

They are likely to think it's a tech error like everyone said, sending a second email to explain what they already know and apologize is silly because it's just one more email they have to read/delete and that's worse than one ****ed up formatted email. You're alleviating your anxiety at the expense of their time. Not a good plan.

Honestly if I were an adcom and saw this I would just laugh out loud and know it was obviously a formatting mistake that you didn't see.

Unless
you did
talk
like this in
your
interview.

Thank you,

Utterly unnecessary, quit worrying! You will be ok 🙂 Learn a lesson from this – Gmail blows. So does Word. Never use them together 😉
Just draft your emails in Gmail if you like to draft things. The damn system saves a copy like every 2 minutes lol

At least yours was a formatting issue; I had been dating some documents for the next week a couple minutes before drafting thank you emails, looked back recently and realized I put September xx not August xx (was at end of month).

I effectively facepalmed.
