     Thank you for your advice.  I found the HTML to have the most pleasing 
output, and it copies reasonably into email.  However, I would have expected a 
text file to be the easiest to use, but this was not the case.  In the PSPP 
Viewer the result of a LIST command presents data neatly in columns.  However, 
when Export is used to send the View output to a text file, the result is that 
the list headings are repeated following (almost) every data line.  Which is 
not a desired format.
     
     What you have said is a nice workable solution, but it would be good if 
output to text could work as well.


I did some experiments myself.  I could not reproduce the problem you described.
I tried copy-paste to various text editors: including emacs, gedit and 
libreoffice.  I noticed one small problem, and I have raised a bug report for it
( https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?38647 ) but otherwise everything 
pastes
as one would expect.

I also tried File|Export in the output viewer and that seemed to be perfect.

If you can post your syntax file I can see if I can provoke the same problem 
that
you are seeing, and maybe suggest a fix.

You mentioned that you were working under Windows.  Perhaps that is the problem.
Interaction with windows programs is often troublesome, because their interfaces
are generally secret.  Take note of the faq 
item at https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/faq.html#NonFreeOS
