source code formating removed

HI there.
line breaks in my html source code are always removed by htmleditor giving a huge breakless lenth of untidy code. can this be stopped ?
while i let my clients who edit use wysiwyg i much prefer getting my results by editing the source.

How are you adding line breaks in the source?

to indicate a line break, enter a br tag:

<br >

i don't mean line breaks like that.. .
what i mean is if i cut'n'paste code out of dreamweaver for instance with line feeds in the code. so its formatted source code. then i save that code in html editor all the line breaks disappear ..
eg
<td width="173" bgcolor="#c1cd1e">
<img src="i/p.jpg"/>
<img src="i/.jpg" />

becomes
<td width="173" bgcolor="#c1cd1e"><img src="i/p.jpg"/><img src="i/.jpg" />


as in the all the source code becomes 1 long line

edit the html editor instance. On the formatting tab, check the Format Source and Clean WYSIWYG Code options.

This will not effect the line breaks after image tags being removed, fck editor will only preserver some line breaks, this will cause your table data cells to indented.
