Der Martin: Outlook adds additional line breaks in plain text emails

Beitrag lesen

Hi,

I'm fighting with a strange problem sending plain text emails with Java. Outlook (2003 and 2007) adds additional line breaks throughout the mailtext. Every other mail client I tested show the email as intended.

please let's have a look at the source code of the e-mail message including the headers after the message has been received by Outlook.
Your description sounds weird, especially ...

No matter how many line breaks I manually add in between, Outlook always does these line breaks by itself.

... this should not be the case. There is a limit to the length of a single line in a mail message, which is ~1000 chars. But if you insert line breaks yourself, they prevent the lines from becoming too long.

I'd really appreciate any hints, I'm clueless right now.

So am I for now.

So long,
 Martin
