When you open the message, check at the top of the window to see if there is a message, such as "Extra line breaks in this message were removed." If so, click on that message, and click "Restore line breaks." --Tom On Tue, 21 Mar 2006, Paula Stankus wrote: > Hey Jared, > > I am using the ksh and it supports the "backslash" characters.
