Ok, will experiment with that too.
More on the sleuthing. ---- I find that if I set the Outlook email options
as follows:
Tools|Options|Preferences|Email Options tab
uncheck the box "Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages"
that the line feed works OK, and the problem text block displays as it seems
to already be coded.
In the process, and trying to track down a correctiion to amother problem
with tabular text formatting and displaying differently depending on the
email viewer used, I find that it also apppears that the display of text
tables (like columns of numbers) that are tabbed adn supposed to line up
vertically is a function of the tab spacing inherent in the hotmail display
background program, or the Netscape, or the Outlook program that formats the
php text that is sent from the server.
I think that if I could find a way to change the tab settings in the mail
viewer program, I could get things to lay out correctly in a block of text.
I discovered this tab setting possibility as a result of messing around with
the font sizes where I then found that I could make a table of invoice items
and amounts move horizontally in and out of alingment by simply changing the
font in the email program being used to view the invoice that generated by
the php script from which my original question came.
Thanks
I bee off net for a week but will check back then Thanks
