All newsreaders should consider it wrong, cause it is, well, wrong. :-) Back to the problem: Normally, emacs should not do that, so I guess that's something you (or your sysadmin) configured. Something like: (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace) So grep your ~/.emacs and the files in the site-lisp directory for `delete-trailing-whitespace'. Bye, Tassilo
