I noticed that the mails are being sent out such that part of the longer lines in the mail are being split in several separate lines.
E.g. take the example of sensing a mail using the unedited "CSS Example" style.
If I send a message using that style (including the default message text) I will receive a mail which looks good for the first part.
It has several css definitions, each nicely on separate lines.
The body text however is being sent as one long line, which was probably too long, since it has been split in two separate lines.
The break is just arbitrary (?) in the text where it corrupts the original text. In my case e.g. it breaks in the middle of a http-link and adds a space on the new line:
.......<a href="ht
tp://hollandharmony.org/pommo1/us........
I have sent a few mail now with different contents and they all suffer from this splitting up the lines :-(
I stopped sending messages now since they show too many corruptions...
I am using Firefox 2.0.0.12 as browser.
The mails are sent via sendmail of my hosting provider (imhosted.com)
I have tested the received mail both in my pop3-received mailbox in Thunderbird and in a webmail application.

This task depends upon
This task blocks these from closing
I also tried to change sendmail to the PHP Mailer in the pommo configuration panel but that does not change the output of the sent message.
Hm, I guess that this forum as not been not the right place to submit the bug, since I did not receive any reaction.
Just for completeness, I also checked the phenomena when I used IE7. Same result, so it seems to be not a browser issue.
Big question: am I the only one with this problem?
Eric,
Thank you for the report and my apologies in my delayed response. I have addressed this issue in SVN. The problem was a regression in the switch to FCKEditor. The WYSIWYG's output would all be on a single line. This causes problems with 8bit encoded HTML emails, as you can only have 988 (?) characters per line.
The fix will make it into the PR 16.1 release, due shortly.
Also, hopefully the switch to swiftMailer will automatically correct this problem.
Thanks,
~ Brice
