I saw on first inspection it could be restructured. I did not write the
snip, it was in a block I was looking at. As for that orignal script, does
anyone know why the particular snip I posted displays the data incorrectly?
BTW - I have subsequent to posting found that the info displays correctly
when sent to a hotmail account viewed on the web, BUT when sent to my
Outlook it has the "bad formatting" Go Figure! I has set the Outlook to
display as plain text.
Thanks for your continued help.
