Following up to myself, it seems that the defined standard for line separators is CR/LF - from the document at the above URL: "As with all MIME transmissions, "CR LF" (i.e., `%0D%0A') is used to separate lines of data." So if your problem is related to the end of line characters, you might want to run something on the server that does an EOL conversion as part of the upload process. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
