It only changes the line-end characters that occur when a new line is specifically indicated (i.e. at the end of each log entry). Wrapping is entirely a function of the program in which you are viewing the text. So tweak your Outlook to wrap or not-wrap as you see fit. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos No virus found in this incoming message.
