SPAM: Re: [WASTE-list] ASCII line endings

[Brother Josef]

i know little about this myself so please bear with me. I *think* you  
understand me here although i used confusing terms. By default the  
line endings in WASTE are not valid when i use them on my UNIX web  
server so i first convert them, which fixes the problem. Converting  
between contrasting conventions is exactly what i'm talking about.  
thanks for picking up my slack Marco! ;) If we understand each other,  
do you know of the proper method for going about this procedure? i  
see WASTE has a line break callback but i'm not certain how to use  
this or if it's the right way for that matter.
