ahhh!! now i get it. this is a very simple fix.
in the act.informative.c:show_obj_to_char function
down near the very bottom line there is a strcat(buf, "\n\r").
simply change that with this.
if (strlen(object->description) > 0) //you could also do if
*object->description
strcat(buf, "\n\r"); //which is faster since you wont be
calling
//a function.
then make sure that you do not have an object description. you might
also want to run a skip_spaces just in case the builders put in some
spaces without knowing it.
this is mailer code. i havent tested it. it may not work. but you get
the general idea.
