[Rd] Sweave trims console output in "tex" mode

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Do you prefer including the entire 
original message when replying? Or perhaps I misunderstood you when you

about this option, though I use results=tex quite often. I had to look 
at the source to see where the newlines were going, and saw it there.

Could you please clarify? Thanks.
