Hi everyone,

I'm tweaking my external email notification message from my server, and I wondering if someone knows this (I can't get in-world until later tonight, so I can't check myself)...

Is it possible to embed a tab character in a string? I want to send a tab-delimited record in an external email from my SL in-world server. Right now, I use colon delimiters, and have to convert them to tabs before being able to paste the line directly into my tracking spreadsheet.

Any ideas?

- Jon

Closest I think you can get is \t, which is just four spaces. And then, who knows if it gets translated when sent to e-mail?
