Depends on the 'typing school'. In the days of non-proportional, i.e: fixed width, fonts it was deemed better to place two spaces after full-stops (periods). This however looks ugly in the days of proportional fonts. Thus one space is recommended in that situation. Since some email clients and some users of adjustable email clients set the email to be displayed in fixed width font (usually people who like ASCII art signatures) (??!) then they are getting one space in the situation that started this thread. Typographically, the white space should be kept to a minimum in close type - so I am happy with one space always. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 2.11.02 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
