If you follow the thread I tried XML and ended with a new problem,
the "#13\r\n" linefeeds inside of the log messages.
I also think using an XML parser for this task is overkill.
I'd get a new deopendency on an XML parser module in my tools,
have to find a free or at least LGPL parser that is bugfree and
up-to-date etc...
maybe my simple "TAB" patch will do.
