Currently there is no simple way of doing this without changing the code
of TFmail - I have copied the developers list in case anyone has a
better idea of how this might be done, or alternatively volunteer to
make a change in the program to support it properly.

YOu might consider using an alternative template for your logfile, that
uses some other character than a newline to indicate the end of a record
- for instance you could write then lines out like an HTML table.
