Last time I checked it didn't, and if you have your viewer set to text and html, and not html and text, then you'll see the reader concatenates the text as well.

MS is probably not going to do a diddly damn about it. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just pointing out it's a mixed issue, TB should regard the CRLF as a whitespace, while Microsoft should be nice, and put the character on the end ;). If you put the following HTML in a file called test.html on your desktop, and open with any browser, you'll see a space as well: <html> <body> this is a new line </body> </html> So browsers even regard the CRLF as a whitespace too, which is technically correct. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Using The Bat! v3.0 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 If it ain't water-cooled... it's a terminal!
