Plaintext Line Wrap?

[woodlandsprite]

I am wondering if there is anything that specifies a linewrap value in zencart for plaintext emails.

I just completed a test registration and the welcome email looked dreadful with awkward linewrap issues

Of course, I sent it to a yahoo address, so that might be a part of my problem I will also be trying with several other email programs, but wanted to see if I'm missing something in the meantime.

There is a wordwrap setting of 76 characters, but I've never seen it cause a problem even on long lines.

Thanks Dr Byte. I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the strange line breaks.

for example, In the welcome notice to a customer,
some text appears as follows: (ignore the ** marks are for illustrative purposes)

**This email address was given to us by you or by one of our customers.
If you**
feel that you have received this email in error, please send an email to
<email address removed>

of course that doesn't quite represent the full text, but my sitting and counting the actual characters from the first ** to the next ** is 76 characters exactly.

Can you tell me where to find the 76 character limit and can it be removed?

Thanks!

You are the only one who has ever reported this as an issue.
Thus ... FUTURE READERS ... NOTE: This should only be touched in very isolated cases.


includes/functions/functions_email.php
line 149 (v1.3.0.2) contains:

      $mail->WordWrap = 76;    // set word wrap to 76 characters

Thanks Dr. Byte.
Appreciate it.

Will give that a try and hope it makes the emails look "nice" again.

And that was indeed what was doing it. Commented it out, emails looked good (well, with the exception of perhaps some really long html links that sometimes get generated for includion in the emails)

put it back, and the ugly email came back.
How odd.
