	It would be great if blank lines (carriage returns) were cut off the end of postings - see below ;)

	If it cut off white space, it wouldn't act like a true RTE now would it?

	I have no idea what a True RTE is so I suppose you are right ?!?! However - I think its messy when our users leave blank lines on the end of messages.

	Yeah I think messages should be trimmed. Super easy to mod! Just find the variable that holds the post and jam it in the trim() function.

	Trim() only works with spaces, the problem here would be trying to remove HTML that shouldn't be there are each browsers does it different. If you hit return at the end of posts in IE it puts in:- <p> </p> If you do the same in Mozilla with CSS turned off it puts in:- <br>

	Can't you loop the end of the post until the last characters don't read <p>/<BR> etc.

	That might not be accurate for some other browsers, I'm sure we would all be complaining if it started cutting off our posts because our browser used the wrong character for a crlf.
