Hal Implementing "solutions" like changing spaces to underbars just to keep people's mailers which can't grok legal protocol from crashing seems inappropriate to me, at least in the long term. If quoted spaces are indeed legal to send, well send them for heavens sakes. If they crash people's mailers, then those mailers should be fixed -- plain and simple. All it takes is one wizard to discern the fix, post it, and everyone else should follow suit. Thank goodness its a solid bug you've found, and not one that would cause peoples mailer's to crash on every 3rd message to come by with a quoted space when there's a full moon out or something like that. g
