I'm stumped. Here's my quandry.
Gmail displays horizontal rules <hr> inserted by other mail clients like
Outlook Express into email messages, though it does not enable <hr>
insertions by Gmail users.
A <hr> can however be copied from and back into a message within Gmail.
Whatsmore, this <hr> once copied from Gmail can also be pasted into MS
Word. This means that the <hr> is stored on the Windows Clipboard.
Here's the mystery. When pasted into Notepad (or other text editors) it
displays nothing but whitespace. How can this be? Are there characters
(in this case representing a <hr>) which Notepad cannot display? MS
Word can display it as a horizontal line or rule.
What is the mystery data on the clipboard and how can I see its coding?
Thanks for your help.
