Quite properly so. >>>Stalker: any chance that SIMS (even though it's a mac only >>>application) could >>>become smart enough to handle either case? >> >>Actually, it would be nice to know what SIMS expects for line-endings in >>messages in: >> a) the Queue; >> b) the Submitted folder. > >MacOS style - CR (0x0D) > >>I suspect that SIMS is probably just looking for the "CR"; that would make >>it work with messages that were _received_ from elsewhere (i.e., they >>contain "CRLF"), and also for messages that were created on the mac (i.e., >>they only contain "CR"). Unfortunately for Joseph, it means Unix-style >>line endings (i.e., containing only "LF") _won't_ work.... Actually, it is perfectly normal for files coming from other platforms to be converted by whatever process transfers them. FTP for example will convert line endings on the fly. That's really the right solution: if you are dropping text files somewhere for a Mac program to read them, whatever process is saving those files should convert them. (If it is a Unix source, piping the file through "tr '\n' '\r' " should do the trick) -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
