Hmm, but what if you transmit a text which contains a line like:
      "You may hit the <tab>-Key to advance to the next field." ???
   
I'd rather recommend DETABbing the file before transmission.
But then again, someone pointed out that a MAKE program requires <tab>s
in its input files. UUENCODE a text file?
