Re: Re: sending email with linefeeds

I spent a LOT of time several moths back trying to figure this one out. It worked fine in Outlook Express, but in Outlook, the whole message appeared on a single line. It only happened when my client filled out the form from a Mac, which turned out to be the important clue. The trick ended up being to remove all the carriage returns from the body of the email. Just like you, I played with lots of different mime type headers, and tried to copy message source headers line by line, tab by tab, etc. If was very frustrating. Don't know why exactly, but my theory was that if Outlook saw any carriage returns, it displayed it as html formatted, which made it all show up on one line. Here's my code (it's in Perl, but you can adjust it to PHP simply), which simply removes all carriage returns and replaces them with nothing in the body of the message to be sent. $FORM{'Message'} =~ s/\r//g; HTH, Peter Janett New Media One Web Services ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Upgrades Are Now Live!!!
