I've have some questions about submitting code that I did not see covered in the style guide. Is the best method to copy the code from my text editor (Textpad) and then post it to the body of my email editor (Outlook Express)? Is there a prefered font? Should I send as plain text or HTML? My last submition was nitpicked for spacing. THe code looked fine in textpad (Courier font), but did get messed up in the email browser (ariel font).

Additional question for servlets.
If the *.html (e.g. videologin.html) is accepted ( no comment I mean) should the *.html code added again and again?

bob63,
In answer to your question, you should paste your code into an email message.
Now for admin stuff. Your display name, bob63, does not comply with the javaranch naming policy. Please change your display name to a name that complies with this policy. Thanks.

Peter, your question really deserves a thread of its own. Tacking it on to a completely unrelated question not only hides it (decreasing its chances of getting answered), but is also considered impolite forum behavior (hijacking threads is a no-no).
Be nice to your question, give it its own thread.

Bob, your email should be set to plain text, not html.
Hope this helps,
Pauline

Yes

Is there a prefered font? Should I send as plain text or HTML?

Since you should send it as plain text, the preferred font question is irrelevant. The font will not affect the spacing. Only the space bar will do that. Sending your code in HTML format will cause apparent indenting problems -- everything from
class Test
{
public static void main( String[] args )
}
where everything is pegged to the left to

<pre>class Test
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
// do stuff
}
}</pre>

code being all over the place.
(I use TextPad and OutlookExpress for my assignments without problems).
