Hi,

I'm sending long HTML emails via SMTP, however it seems to put a line break in after so many characters (hard to say how many) which can sometimes cause links to not work or just generally mess up the template design.

What's the best way of addressing this?

It's likely that it's a setting in your email client to break at 80 characters.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Have seen this before with some email components, such as CDONTS.

The way to prevent it is to insert a Carriage Return and Line Break in to the body of the email sent to the mail server.

If you are using ASP with VbScript as I believe you are you need to add vbCrLf between lines eg:-

strEmailBody = "text here" & _
vbCrLf & "<br />next email body line"
