I checked. Mail.app does not put ^M on each line. However, the standard UNIX mailer will append ^M to each line under some circumstances, after Mail.app is through with it (after it passes through /usr/lib/sendmail). In particular, outgoing UUCP mail always has ^M appended to every line, although they are usually stripped by the mailer on the receiving end, at least on most UNIX systems. This may also be the case on outbound internet mail, but I'm not on the internet, so I can't check. Perhaps you were looking in /usr/spool/uucp/D.hostname at some of the spooled mail files? You will typically see ^M characters there. -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us NeXT/PostScript developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977)
