[..] this '^M' token is a 'single entity' - you may be interested in the more 'detailed' output from what 'vi' shows under linux as I posted it up at: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/cgi/ParseParmsToPara.txt what 'vi' is showing is the <LF> token when it presents '^M' and why you normally do not see it with a 'cat' unless one is in the habit of doing 'cat -v' to see the non-Ascii characters. ( cf. man cat) { note the implementation of 'cat' is OS dependent in how it will present that data .... } You may wish to review the code referenced in the above two URL's as they can help present the data.... ciao drieux --- serves me right to presume that if the rule set didn't put the email in the correct folder that the email addr was FRAGGED...
