What I'm seeing seems to be due to the fact that my e-mail client uses Arial as the font (Yes, it's in Windows). Since this is a proportionally spaced font, the lines that start with text are longer than the lines that start with spaces, because spaces are narrower than most of the characters used. Unless you can come up with some text for that line that begins with spaces, and insert a tab character into each of the lines to form up the right half, you aren't going to get good results. ---- Robert P.
