Ahh yes. This is because IE (or other program) is copying the text with
ASCII10s for Newlines, when windows textboxes (which is what Notepad is made
from) wants ASCII13+ASCII10 ... I usually find that using a better editor
helps, or copying from the web page's source code since IE usually gets it
right in there.
