+Summary: Small change needed to fix TraceOutput formatting in Internet Explorer
+
+Gonzalo recently fixed TraceData.cs to HtmlEncode the output to ensure 
+valid HTML pages are being returned to the web browser when the Trace 
+data is viewed at the bottom of a web page.
+
+He also put in a fix to convert "\n" to "<br />" and " " to "&nbsp;" to 
+make sure the printed results are nicely formatted.  This is the code 
+here:
+
+string res = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode (s);
+res = res.Replace ("\n", "<br />");
+return res.Replace (" ", "&nbsp;");
+** Note that this actually encodes the BR as "<br&nbsp;>".
+
+While this works well in Mozilla, I have noticed that Internet Explorer 
+does not treat "<br&nbsp;>" as a break.  Could you please change the code 
+to the following:
+
+string res = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode (s);
+res = res.Replace (" ", "&nbsp;");
+return res.Replace ("\n", "<br />");
+
+I realize it is a small change, but it will ensure the trace output is 
+correctly formatted in Internet Explorer (it will look the same as 
+MS.NET).
+
+Thanks Gonzalo/Jackson,
+
