Re: [Smslink-users] Newline character in SMS message

[Philippe A. <pa...@ib...>]

Hello again, Jeff,

I think I have a working solution. I'll prepare a new "pre-release" tar
file for 0.56b-4 this evening and make it available on the site
tomorrow. I'll let you know when the file is available and you can test it.

HTH

Cheers. Bye.

Ph. A.
