I've found it to be a lost cause to add pure white space in tabs during emails. Most clients are "helpful" in making things "user friendly" by removing leading white space. What i found did work on most machines at the time was either just a newline or a "Q: <question>\nA: <answer>\n" which isn't as formatted, but does the readabilty job.

It has an annoying feature where it "helpfully" removes "extra" line breaks. This would appear to be what's happening here. When it does this it usually displays a notice somewhere to say it's done this and offers a way to undo it. ---------------- Thanks, dam I been wasting my time trying to figure out the solution... However I see that with the tabbed (\t) formatting its very inconsistent in many email and web clients... Do you have a solution to ensure that the output is consistent always?
