New Message: Find and replace with carriage returns

[David A. Bayly]

The manilafixer plugin has a text search and replace function that 
can perform plaintext or regex (regular expression) search and 
selective replaces  in all or part of your website.

The plugin is free, part of a public domain root downloadable from 
<http://www.baylys.com:8080/help>
