I haven't checked the RFC lately, but ISTR that the end of text line is specified as "dash dash space lineend", so that does not surprise me. } Finally, I retried the original but with the blank following the double-dash. Same result as the original, but the output did not echo the blank at the end of the double-dash, at least not that I could intepret via Eudora processing. Because some mailers want to drop trailing blanks I am guessing that many implementations treat the dash dash lineend as the same seperator. Perhaps the RFC now calls the trailing space as optional. I just tried it myself and the echo did not show the blank: > thanks You're welcome! > -- > Rich Greenberg So it would seem that listserv is dropping trailing blanks. A bug? I would say yes. Worthwhile fixing? Thats up to Lsoft. IMHO probably not. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.
