Here's a random example of some code and the response R produced:

Now, maybe I'm old and crochety, but why don't people put a handy linefeed (or <CR>) between each command line and each response line? I just find it tedious to try to figure out exactly where a given command ended, especially when a couple commands in a row are left on a single line.

If this is my own fault for reading the archive with Camino (and other browsers parse the archive web page text better), then I apologize for this interruption.

That looks like a snippet from my reply earlier this week.

Here is the post online:

I reviewed the post with Safari, Firefox and then installed Camino 1.6.7 on OSX. Looks fine in all of them. I did copy from an R console when pasting the above, which did have the newline in the source.

I might expect a problem with an e-mail client that may have problems displaying "format = flowed" e-mails which is the default in Apple Mail when sending plain text e-mails, but in a browser I am not sure if this should be an issue.

The page source for the post in the archive shows a newline so it is not clear to me why you are having rendering issues.

More info on 'format = flowed' is available here:

and the formal spec is here:
