New line in email

Now, does anyone have an answer to the newline question?

Have you checked your thread in comp.lang.php lately? ;-)

Cheers,

Begging my ignorance Mr Shark, what does "RLU 297263" mean?

If you want to ask Blinky a question, reply to one of _his_ posts
(quoting his sig to provide context). Some sharks don't hear too well;
they like you to swim closer. :-o

GIYF:
"This raised leg urination (RLU) is different from ordinary urination,
where the ... RLU is usually only performed by alpha wolves... "

Oh, wait, I don't think that's it. Better look at
http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/RLU

It's probably the one having to do with computers...

Ermm... maybe not quoting the sig, but including an attribution at the

I suggested quoting the sig because that's where Anonymous saw Blinky's
"RLU 297263".

As I explained in another response, the "Shelly" is typed by me each
time.

Doesn't matter if you type it in or not, it's still a sig.

Now, does anyone have an answer to the newline question?

If it's HTML then a new line is simply whitespace. Nothing more. Just like
in a web page.

What you probably want is <br>, or even <p>...</p>.

[Manually typed in sig follows:]

The answer was in changing the Content Type. The PHP group answered my
question.

..... and I guess "Richard" is not a sig <g> ? This is just what I do. See
next line.

Yes, this morning. Inster had the answer.

I ***SAID*** I also posted to comp.lang.php.

See next line.

Shelly

"Richard" _is_ my sig. And I precede it with the required sig seperator,
which you do not.

I see what you mean now. However, I have been posting for over ten years
now and have an untold number of posts. This is the very first time anyone
has ever mentioned it and, frankly, with a "one word sig" I consider it no
BFD.

10 years of posting to Usenet...huh...probably pissed off a number of
folks and in 10 years. In the 10 years you never learned the difference
between multi-posting [bad] and cross-posting [okay, if conservative in
number and to *relevant* groups]?

Did you say how? "Posted" doesn't tell if it's crossposted or
multiposted. I presume you multiposted. Crossposting is better.

Your sig is still not properly delimited.

 

[Blinky the Shark]

Yes, it is a sig. And that's *not* what you do, because his is properly
delimited.

Shelly

That is not properly delimited.

years now and have an untold number of posts. This is the very first
time anyone has ever mentioned it and, frankly, with a "one word sig"
I consider it no BFD.

Whether it's one word or one line or more, it's still somehthing that
when done incorrectly - like your sigs - forces everyone who responds to
manually remove it. If done correctly, their software (if properly set
up, probably unlike yours) automatically deletes it in their reply. So
while it's not a BFD to you, it is to those whom you selfishly and
lazily and cluelessly inconvenience.

Shelly

What's so hard about adding the three proper keystrokes before that?

If you let your own software add the (properly delimited) sig, it would
take NO more work. It would take less.

You are truly clueless.

I am actually sending the email via php using the mail() function.

Erm?. Please post an URL to the page that has the mail link.
I am not at all clear how you get a mailto: link to a php function.
Usually the mailto: simply opens your default mail client.

maybe time to learn some new stuff. Even after 10 years you will realise
that there is something new out there.

Then why isn't this part of your sig?

Everybody has their favourite e-mail client. An all HTML one is
mailvault.com. You can access the site from behind a web proxy, it
encrypts e-mail and you can use a digital signature.

http://www.mailvault.com/ seems to have died a silent death. Its
security certificate expired on the 1 October 2006. And the last item
of "system news" is dated 20 July 2006 about a DOS attack.

That's recent. George Orwell was probably writing about 1984 again...

Either the OP has given up on mailto or was never using it in the first
place.
