Hi all...

In the first instance - we are doing some automated messages. They can be based on an HTML template, or a plain ASCII text template. Certain strings are replaced on the template with real values (e.g. mmmmDatemmmm = DATE()). Simplistic but it works. A template is an ASCII/HTML file, picked up line by line and loaded into a table. A free text box may be used instead of a template, just a plain ol' edit box.

So, here is the situation:

A. Sending HTML. Works great. omsg.HTMLBody = m.myHTMLtext. Right click on the message in Outlook, choose view source, and I can then see the HTML template. All okay.

B. Sending free text based on the edit box value, all is well. omsg.Body = myeditbox.Value. Right click on the message in Outlook, cannot choose view source - because we are just plain ol ASCII. All okay.


C. Sending the ASCII Text Template = Problem. omsg.Body = m.myASCIItext. After sending a message, when it is read, all of the line feeds and carraige returns are missing!! Right click on the message in Outlook, and I CAN choose view source (but, I am sending ASCII), and I can then see the message the way it was supposed to be read; with the line feeds and carraige returns in the right spot. So I must be doing something fundamentally wrong here in that my sending an ASCII file is not being interpreted (sp?) correctly by Outlook. Any suggestions?

TIA
