Another thing to check would be to make sure that it isn't using the rtf
format (Rich Text Format).  It shows up as text for all intents and
purposes, but the characters used for linebreaks and such somewhat
resemble the html <br> format.  And I think to turn that off is a check
box that is burried deep in the menus somewhere.  I'll look here in a
bit when I have to reboot to windows so that my kids can play their
games.  8o)
