That rectangle is the Mac's way of displaying a non printable character. Lots and Lots of characters will cause that rectangle to appear. However, when seen consistantly at the start of every line of text like you describe, its a pretty safe bet it is in place of a Line Feed character. Since you were running into a problem with line feed characters, then its an even safer bet those rectangles were in fact line feeds and were the source of your problem. Were you per chance quoting an AOL email? AOL used to put those characters into email all the time. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
