Hey guess what (at least I admit when I'm completely wrong and stupid!), it was my shell script that was mucking up the formatting. It's eating leading spaces, for some reason I have yet to figure out. I *know* tried sending the job from Windoze as well as unix, and I thought that one also showed the problem. I must have been smoking crack though, because it works if I don't run it through that shell script (even if I still send it from unix). Then again, I'm on a mac at home, perhaps there's some additional client-side viewing oddity on whatever version of Outlook I have at work. (Why do I use a shell script? Because we send multi-part mime emails for clients, containing an if-then statement for an AOL version, so essentially each email has three parts. Clients want to see a test copy of each part before it mails, so I wrote a series of scripts to pull the multipart-mime email apart and build three separate test emails and send them. Beats doing it by hand each time.) Best, Al Iverson -- Al Iverson -- http://www.radparker.com -- Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Support Minnesota Jazz -- Disclaimer: All of my opinions are mine alone.
