I am attempting to send Tab  delimited e-mail text in email from my
WebServer using ColdFusion mail tag -CFMAIL- -  (although I believe
ColdFusion doesn't really matter much in relation to my problem ... -  also
... I am sending plain text E-mail rather than HTML e-mail)


Inside the mail tag, I am successfully using certain ASCII codes ... Chr(13)
- Chr(10) Chr(34) etc...... But  having some trouble using Chr(9)

- the short story: the other ASCII codes appear fine in my Macintosh
entourage plain text e-mail and so does Chr(9) (tab key) ...  However
somehow Chr(9) (tab key) is getting lost on my PC using outlook Express
whether I view it as HTML mail or plaintext e-mail -  it seems to get
converted to a space or something...

-  the ultimate goal is to be able to copy and paste the text into a text
file that can be imported into Excel....

-  when I view the invisible characters in Microsoft word on my mac -  I can
see everything including the tab key on the Macintosh however on the PC
Microsoft word shows everything correctly except the Chr(9) (tab key) -
which seems to have been converted to a space...

Question: is there some way to fix this so the Chr(9) (tab key) will show up
in all e-mail programs on both platforms?
