We study the correlation {l_angle}{sigma}{sup z}{sub 0}{sigma}{sup z}{sub n}{r_angle} for the XXZ chain in the massless attractive (ferromagnetic) region at positive temperatures by means of a numerical study of the quantum transfer matrix. We find that there is a range of temperature where the behavior of the correlation for large separations is oscillatory with an incommensurate period which depends on temperature. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
