Hey, mellow out. Some people may not have caught the original post.
Some servers routinely skip individual messages.

I know that I missed the original post stating that you were looking for
something inside of the <img src=...... alt=    > string.

Padding the line with extra spaces and returns and crap won't work. HTML
is specifically designed to remove ALL EXTRA SPACES AND LINE BREAKS. That
is why placing control codes will not provide the result you are looking
for. If <BR> and <P> don't work, you're SOL.

My advice is this: Give it up. Can't be done. Find something else to work on.
