I've just recently sent a message to Daniel on the topic OT: OO which
included some source code. Some of my code was 'free-hand' (off the
cuff) which I typed directly into the message - for the most part that
shows up OK. Then to illustrate points I copy and paste *real code*
produced by my M/F Editor. The *real code* looks just great at my end
before I send the message.

When I then look at the message in clc my "real code* is an absolute
mish-mash - unintelligible. What can I do to make it *readable* in the
message in clc. I'm currently using Netscape/Mozilla.. (I'm not sure it
is a fault of either of those two, because this frustration has occurred
for years).

So often I would prefer to attach an MS Word doc or a zipfile - but I
know there are folks out there who would blow a blue fit if I did that !
