Re: Email Formatting
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2001
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 38825
interpreted = N
texte = The [input] tags are needed. without them the line breaks won't ever work. If you look in the database there are square boxes where the line breaks are. The [Input] tag changes it back to a hard line break.It's kinda like needing [ConvertChars] when showing the same information on an html page. Without them, the information would only show on one long line.At least that has been my experience.Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary J. Krockover
