Just tried it again to confirm - Windows Address Book (aka "Outlook" etc)
will display:

Line1\nLine2
as:
Line1\nLine2

whereas:
Line1$$Line2
is displayed as:
Line1
Line2

So if you want the same attributes to display in "Outlook" and in your web
page - yes it looks like you will have to deal with the $$ in your CGI.

I seem to remember reading that $$ is a standard for delimiting multi-line
attribute values in LDAP, not sure where...
