Hi,

It is possible that the problem is that your message is being sent to =
you with newlines and carriage returns imbedded in the incoming message, =
but when you send the text back to that textarea the browser interprets =
it as two newlines (I have experienced this myself).

The solution, in PERL, is this:

$incoming_message =3D~ s/\r//g;=20

which will remove the offending carriage returns.  If you need to =
preserve the incoming message for some reason, do this:

($outgoing_message =3D $incoming_message) =3D~ s/\r//g;

HTH,
Brian
