Ok, that's it. You're going on my blocked list. You seem to be out of the office most of the time, anyway. I just wish you'd unsubscribe from the list so we don't get all these annoying bounce messages. For those of you who don't speak English, a bit of trivia. "Quan" is not a word in Chinese, at least with the Romanization system they use on the mainland. Unlike English, 'q' isn't often followed by a 'u', and when it is, it forms the word "qu" (pronounced, approximately, "choo") (really!). Qu an might be a pair of characters, pronounced choo ahn. (Approximately--we don't have the right sounds in English to pronounce "qu" properly, though the French would get closer than we).

tone separation with Imaging Lingo
Hi everybody, maybe some of you know what equidensities are: these are zones of equal or similar tonal values in a black and white negative. At the time one used lith film masks to get them. I need to do something like that with an alphaChannel image using imaging lingo, but I am not sure how to do it. For me it would be good enough to separate a grayscale image in two images, one with all tonal values above a given threshold value blackened and another where all values below this value are black. So one could break it down to the question: How do I blacken all areas below or above a threshold value in a grayscale image? Any ideas?

Re: a question
Michael, Probably... almost sure your are using an HTML format to the message body, in this case the carriage return isn't chr(10)+chr(13).

Re: a question
Hi, have you tried urlEncode(RETURN) yet?
Here's an old post of mine from Jan 2001, where this came up:
[Sending an email using BudAPI (baOpenURL)]
Yes, the linefeeds can be a problem. This works fine in Outlook Express (W98),
however:
on mouseUp me
theURL = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
theSubj = "Mail from Director"
LF = urlEncode(RETURN)
theMess = "Hi, this is the message!" &LF& "This is the second line."
theMess = theMess &LF&LF
theMess = theMess & "Here is the second paragraph." &LF
theMess = theMess & "This is the second line of the second paragraph."
-- Here I use BuddyAPI, by the way:
baOpenURL("mailto:"; & theURL& "?subject=" &theSubj& "&body=" &theMess,
"normal")
end
And continued:
Hi Steven, you can change the following line:
LF = urlEncode(RETURN)
to:
theOS = (the platform).char[1..3]
LF = urlEncode(RETURN, theOS)
Hope this helps,
