Stick html '<br>' tags at the end of each line. If you're invoking other commands that can output multiple lines, pipe them through sed. So your above script will work if you change it to: #!/bin/sh cat ~/.sig | sed -e "s/$/<br>/g" echo "<br><br><br>" /usr/games/fortune | sed -e "s/$/<br>/g" Cheers David > > > Jakob Breivik Grimstveit System Integrator, Bergen IT Department, Star > Shipping AS [EMAIL PROTECTED], +47 55239600/+47 48298152 > \n\n Money is the root of all evil, and man needs roots. -- Cheers, David -- Today's Affirmation (selected automatically just for you): Energy and vitality are my birthright. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
