chr(10)
So
theComment = Replace(theComment,Chr(10),"<br>",1,-1,1)
should do it. |

Pretty sure its like this.
vbNewLine = chr(13)
vbCRLF = chr(13) & chr(10)
vbLF = chr(10) |

Constant Value Description
vbCr = Chr(13) Carriage return.
VbCrLf = Chr(13) & Chr(10) Carriage return–linefeed combination.
vbFormFeed = Chr(12) Form feed; not useful in Microsoft Windows.
vbLf = Chr(10) Line feed.
vbNewLine = Chr(13) & Chr(10) or Chr(10)
Platform-specific newline character;
whatever is appropriate for the platform.
vbNullChar = Chr(0) Character having the value 0.
vbNullString String having value 0 Not the same as a zero-length string ("");
used for calling external procedures.
vbTab = Chr(9) Horizontal tab.
vbVerticalTab = Chr(11) Vertical tab; not useful in Microsoft Windows. |

what's the difference between VbCrLf and vbNewLine?
is it ok to change all vbNewLine to VbCrLf? hence solve possible problems when doing such a convertion? |

Well try Replace(myString,vbNewLine,"<BR>")
Once the users entered the input, its then down to what the server interprets as being a vbNewLine I guess.
my Suggestion would be to play around, setup a form here and ask a few people perhaps to enter some data and see what you end up with. |

fString = Replace(fString, CHR(13), "")
'fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "<br /><br />")
fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10), "<br />")
this is what in function FormatStr |

VBNewLine is NOT platform specific, so depending on the servers OS it will write a different value.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE VbNewLine, since sending a vbCrLf will not result in the correct eol markers on all platforms |

Actually we are talking about receiving not sending vbNewLines.
I'm not sure I understand your first sentance there Huw (could be just thats its the middle of the morning). It seems to contradict itself..... It's not platform specific, but depending on the server you'll get a different value ? |

Thank you everybody, I've succeded admirably!
here's the code I used to encode all emails to HTML (in inc_mail.asp):
dim HTMLMsg
dim strTmp
strTmp = strMessage
HTMLMsg = "<html DIR=""RTL"">" & vbNewLine & "<body>"
HTMLMsg = HTMLMsg & FormatStr(strTmp)
HTMLMsg = HTMLMsg & "</body></html>"
I needed it to support alignment of messages and links in Hebrew (ISO-8895-I) encoded emails |

if you used vbCRLF to write a file to a unix server it would not understand the EOL markers correctly so it IS platform specific, vbNewLine on the other hand would write the correct value so it is NOT platform specific
ie
NOT platform specific means you can use it on ANY platform |
