Look at the KMail action above - find somewhere to t= runcate it and chop. =2D------------------------------------------------------------------------= =2D------------------------------------------------------------------------= =2D--------------------------------------------------------------------- The line above was completely unbroken until I saved this as a draft, then KMail forced two hard line endings despite a complete lack of spaces. That's the 'standard' behaviour and it's clients like Evolution that get on my nerves. (The =2D stuff is something to do with my character type setting.) Evolution seems to me to be copying OE a little too closely and is intent on breaking the very standards that Linux is otherwise so good at obeying. That must be a bad thing for anyone who wants to keep the internet available to all. We NEED standards and we need ALL open-source/free software to follow the accepted standards. If Linux doesn't encourage users to utilise and uphold the standards (and conventions) it leaves no incentive for closed-source developers to even pay lip-service to standards and the needs of standard-compliant users. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
