Suggestion, please note out where "line 9" is exactly. Some mail clients will use wordwrap and some not so the lines may not be the same on "every" mail client so "line 9" could be more like "line 14" on some and "line 9" on others. Just "//comment" where "line 9" is so we know and can answer your question alot better/easier/faster. :) Otherwise we would have to test and find ourself. Which many of us don't have the time/patience for.
