I''m trying to re-flow email messages, removing the line breaks that get added by mail programs so that the lines don''t exceed 72 characters. Mail.app and Thunderbird seem to insert a space character before each added line break. Outlook replaces new lines in the email with double \n''s, then uses single \n''s for the ''soft'' line breaks. Can anyone confirm this / point me to some specification / point out any other client behaviour I need to handle? Thanks for any help, Jon
