Thom to the rescue!

When sweetpickns posted that link here, this Forum's protocol (or whatever....) replaced the space in the tag for Item Total with the html code for space filler (don't know the correct term for it), which is % 20 (I've added a space so it'll display properly here). So when I just copy/pasted it into my email template, that % 20 CREATED a space. If I had just inserted the tag using the email template editor and the drop-down boxes, this wouldn't have happend. A real EUREKA moment.
