My only question is WHY?!?! It does not make sense to have done this on purpose. All I want is a few carriage returns inserted into the document that I want sent back to people, to break up multiple paragraphs. Just because the default is to send back short snippets of text, it should not mean that I should be forced to do the same. Looks like short-sidedness on the programming end to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Parker" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 12:06 AM Subject: Re: [LSTOWN-L] Template Formatting > On Wed, 28 Feb 2001 20:55:25 -0600, Bryan Fritchie <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > >If this document is pulled as is, and sent back out to the end user, why is > >it "linear"? > > This is the name of the style of the template message.
