Regarding my earlier question as to whether the "-" at the end of a string was part of the code or just intended to setoff the code from the rest of the posting, Roelof Otten said that it removed a blank line. I couldn't see that in his e-mails, even in his last example, because I couldn't directly compare the two examples, scrolling from one to the other, I didn't actually see the shortened space between the greeting and body text.
However, when I tried this at home, and created two templates, one with and without the "-" and could toggle back and forth between them, the difference was obvious. So, once again, thanks, Roelof, for the advice. The e-mails have been sent. Now, the next step is to do that upgrade...
