I'm trying to write a template that contains several paragraphs separated by blank lines, and for some reason I just can't do it. No matter what I try, LISTSERV runs the whole thing together as one paragraph without breaks. First I tried having formatting on (.FO ON) for the whole thing; when I saw that it wasn't working, I tried turning formatting off for the blank lines and back on again for the paragraphs, but the results were exactly the same. The DEFAULT.MAILTPL contains several multi-paragraph templates, and there is nothing special about the formatting of them as far as I can tell. Is there a way to force a blank line in a template? I've checked the List Owner's Manual and can't find any clues. The template I'm trying to write is POST_EDITOR. I normally use Pico to edit this stuff, for what it's worth. I did try using another editor on a different account, but that didn't affect the results at all. steve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- H.
