Hello L.D.:
You are right. You do not have to shell out. F6 does show it as it is,
as three lines of text, not two. (I have long since known about using
F6, but failed to think of looking at it that way at the time.) When you
shell out and look at the CNM file you also see it as it is. The same is
true at my end, whereby if I attempt to quote it, the center line is lost.
This can be explained by the fact that the center line is missing from
the HTML file. Why it is missing from the HTML file sure is a mystery to
me.
I had also learned that the file could be imported directly and the
headers trimmed. It seems that everybody on the list is observing the
same weird effect.
I sure would like to know exactly what is going wrong, and how this
effect can be duplicated. I too have performed a number of experiments
and so far have not been able to produce a similar effect. I have
learned that if I compose an email message by transcribing the same
lines of text from scratch, then, in that case, the same weird thing will
happen.
All the best,
Sam Heywood
