Hi Maurice,

When I look in the pkt the message arrived in, only the first line had a tab
character in front of the text. My opinion is, you should avoid tab characters
where ever possible, because every system, or piece of software has its own
idea of how many spaces a tab character represents...

Your good at selective quoting... ;)

Bye, Wilfred.
