Cal,
The program isn't putting in the non-breaking spaces. The code is actually
quite clean and not adding extra code. As for HTML mail, yes I know the
pitfalls, but in this case ALL the clients will be using IMAIL web interface so
I know exactly how it will look for them.. which right now is pretty ugly.
The http and https are both underlined in most packages, just not IMAIL web
interface.
