Neither cr nor lf are significant are are silently ignored by RTF readers. Space, on the other hand IS significant. If your mailer drops trailing spaces at the ends of lines you might experience this problem. Possibly your mailer wraps long lines and drops the space between words. RTF writers often write very long output lines, and many mailers don't handle arbitrarily long lines very well. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu
