It's the first one. Also I have files with like this:

Before he could tell her to wait, to write out the words, she put the
car in gear and drove to the dirt road, rocking slowly over the uneven
field. The car made an abrupt turn and disappeared behind a row of
trees. The brake lights flashed once and then she was gone.
He trudged back to the bloody Nissan. Here, he smudged all the
fingerprints but his own and then rearranged the bloody knife, the guns,
and the two bodies until the crime scene told a credible, if dishonest,
story.

Now this is wierd! I cut and pasted a sample in forum editor. it looked like this:

Well no it didn't either! That code in the editor without the bbcode was supposed to look like my problem text, but when it got posted it came out allright. But it *won't* come out right When I convert it!
Only there was a blank line between lines of text. I put the pasted lines between quote and /quote (bbcode) and they came out correct! Something is going on with the character encoding I think. The text is garbled like that in both notepad and Word 2003. What's the solution?
Thanks,
