:-) 

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,'&#xA;&#x9;','&#x20;&#x20;')='&#x20;'

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

Cheers,
Wendell
