Sure, I understand the Windows connection to <CRLF>; but if that were
the cause, it would seem a LOT of e-mail would get screwed up, i.e., the
behavior would be seen all over the world. In this case, I'm simply
using Netscape Mail 7.1.
Hmmm... I need to look at these items at the office; I don't think I see
the same behavior though I try not to hang out in these newsgroups
(especially CPF0000) at the office. Until David served this bunch of
newsgroups via his newsserver, I only used Netscape webmail for them.
Win2K and Netscape 7.1 here and there for these newsgroups now. WinXP
and Outlook/Exchange for my office-supplied desktop system.
Primary difference is the ISP -- Earthlink here at home. But I'll be
_VERY_ irritated if I ever find out there's any relationship.
As for whether the client is busted, the strict definition of SMTP
headers has <CRLF> as the delimiter, so <tabNL> _should_ be okay... I
think. Technically, if the RFC indicates that <NL> alone is sufficient,
then YOUR client may be busted, but I highly doubt that. I didn't see
that possibility last time I scanned through it.
As I always say sometimes, ain't computer tech grand?

Hi Tom -
It makes perfect sense, though when I look at the mail item in hex, I
see <CRLF>. Somewhere between sending and getting it into my client,
the <NL> seems to get changed and that probably fouls up the client.
A CRLF is the DOS/Windows standard for a line break (whereas in
Linux/Unix it's just a LF and in Apples/Macs it's just a CR) so you
can't blame it on that. <G> In fact, it's probably your client that's
converting it from a LF to CRLF.
