Hey Wilfred!

 WvV> I doubt that...

Ye of little faith.  I used to get netmail that stated otherwise.

 WvV> you should avoid tab characters where ever possible, because
 WvV> every system, or piece of software has its own idea of how many
 WvV> spaces a tab character represents...

Agreed.  However in the case of posting shell scripts, c code and the such, the
above idea will increase the byte size of messages - 7 bytes per tab in the
case here although that can be redefined.  I am not sure how important that
will end up being but something to consider if indeed it is important.

 WvV> Your good at selective quoting... ;)

Weird.  I have always believed that quoting should be avoided whenever
possible.

Life is good,
Maurice
