<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My tests all send status messages using HTML formatting, being very careful not to send a colon anywhere in the status report so as not to confuse the NCV module. You can use HTML formatting for colons, tables,
etc in the status messages and they will be passed through to the browser and display properly. I will then send a second data only message with the NCV format for the NCV module to pick up. Good practice for me always has been to include a blank line before
and after the message body in both status and data messages. It used to be required due to a bug if I remember correctly, not sure if it still is but I always do it anyway out of habit and don’t have any issues.

not. <span style="color:#1F497D">This image displays what is wrong with the graph:</span>
