i did use chr(13)+chr(10) as i have to use it for zetafax but in the email it put in an extra carriage return and the layout looks dreadful so i have replaced all the chr(13)+chr(10) with chr(10) but i will change this to chr(13) at marc's suggestion.

>The correct way is to use BOTH, CHR(13)+CHR(10)! In some situations you can get big problems if you don't, so get used to it.

>>hi all,
>>i am automatically getting information and placing it into an email with a particular layout. i am using chr(13) in some places and chr(10) in others to start a new line. both seem to work but i am wondering if it is better to use one over the other?
