Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. The translate() function
above removes *all* NL and tab characters and its result is compared
to the empty string.

Maybe your mailer is hiding some space there? I should have written:

translate($x,'
	','  ')=' '

(Showing I did leave one space out ... my apologies for that.)

Cheers,
Wendell
