I am attempting to send Tab delimited e-mail text in email from my WebServer using ColdFusion mail tag -CFMAIL- - (although I believe ColdFusion doesn't really matter much in relation to my problem ... - also ... I am sending plain text E-mail rather than HTML e-mail)
Inside the mail tag, I am successfully using certain ASCII codes ... Chr(13) - Chr(10) Chr(34) etc...... But having some trouble using Chr(9) - the short story: the other ASCII codes appear fine in my Macintosh entourage plain text e-mail and so does Chr(9) (tab key) ... However somehow Chr(9) (tab key) is getting lost on my PC using outlook Express whether I view it as HTML mail or plaintext e-mail - it seems to get converted to a space or something... - the ultimate goal is to be able to copy and paste the text into a text file that can be imported into Excel.... - when I view the invisible characters in Microsoft word on my mac - I can see everything including the tab key on the Macintosh however on the PC Microsoft word shows everything correctly except the Chr(9) (tab key) - which seems to have been converted to a space... Question: is there some way to fix this so the Chr(9) (tab key) will show up in all e-mail programs on both platforms? -- Thanks - RevDave [EMAIL PROTECTED] [db-lists] -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
