[FX.php List] OT: extra spaces between words not showing up

[Joel Shapiro]

Hey Alex

This is a standard html issue, I believe.  Type consecutive spaces  
into any html page and you'll only see one in the resulting display  
in your browser.  If you need to show extra spaces that exist in your  
FM data, can you replace them w/ " " when you bring them back to  
the web?
