My guess is that either:

* Your web broswer is including them in the submitted text
* Your ftp server is inserting them in the ftp transfer

But I'll have to try to check on this, and see if I can figure it out
or reproduce it.  By chance are you setting the vacation from a web
browser running on a windows platform?

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
