[NLRS] Best way to send a table thru NLRS reflector ?

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Jon (and anyone else interested),

I concur with Chris's suggestions and offer a further suggestion to help in 
viewing...at least for folks with Outlook Express (ver 6, maybe 
earlier)...When a message Window is open, from the 
Field/Edit/View/Insert/Format/etc. menu bar, select View > Text Size > Fixed 
and the message will then be displayed in a fixed width font...works very 
nicely *IF* the 'table' was created using Chris's suggestions.

73, JK

LImit the line length to about 72 chars.  If you're formatting it in some
form of WYSIWYG editor, use a fixed-width font such as Courier.  When
separating columns, use spaces rather than tabs.

These three methods together should render a table to be displayed in most
textual mail systems in a sane manner.
