Right, but then I need to unconvert about 5 or 6 entries back, which
are supposed to be escaped, but invisible in the output.

        BOLTreplace('~~', '&#126;&#126;');
        BOLTreplace('$', '&#36;');
        BOLTreplace('&#39;', '\'');
        BOLTreplace('&#34;', '"');
        BOLTreplace("\r\n", "\n");
        BOLTreplace("\r", "\n");
        BOLTreplace('~data~', '&#126;data&#126;');
        BOLTreplace('<', '&lt;');

And some only in certain situations... Like code pages...

So this is easier but if we need a more thorough solution, we can do it.

Cheers,
Dan
