Preventing Unwanted Carriage Returns

[Spycat]

Hi all,

Newbie question here.
I have a form that sends out an e-mail with some pre-defined strings in it.
However, upon getting the e-mail, I see that some unwanted carriage returns
have been inserted. While I realize that this is normal line wrapping, dependent upon the e-mail client being used and the screen resolution, I was wondering if there was a way to force lines to stay together.
Here is what I have from my php:
[code]
".$name." filled out our Goodwill.of Silicon Valley Customer Information Form\r
in order to be notified of upcoming sales in our 16 stores.\r
If you would also like to receive these notifications,\r
we look forward to you paying a visit to: ".$_POST['refurl']."";
[/code]

Everything is sent fine, alsong with the carriage returns I specified by: \r
However, when I get the e-mail, a return after "Customer" has been inserted.
Is there a solution to this?

Thanks,
Rick

hmm, if you can send HTML format you can put the text in a Table and give the td a nowrap attribute and that should fix it. .... Just the first Idea that came into my head, i'm sure some better ones exist.

[/quote] I do not understand your question. Are yoy saying that when you recieve your email a carriage/new line has been inserted after Customer? If that ios what you're saying then this is out of your control as its the defualt behaviour of the email client its self. Otherwise you'll have to use use the scroll bar at the bottom in order to read your email which is strange!

I would recommend you to chnage the following:
[code]filled out our Goodwill.of Silicon Valley Customer Information Form\r
in order to be notified of upcoming sales in our 16 stores.\r
If you would also like to receive these notifications,\r
we look forward to you paying a visit to: [/code]to[code]filled out our Goodwill.of Silicon Valley Customer Information Form in order to be notified of upcoming sales in our 16 stores.\r
If you would also like to receive these notifications, we look forward to you paying a visit to:[/code]
Now that you have used 1 carriage return your email should now look fine in any screen resolution/email client regardless of the size of the email viewing window.

This is the way I'd recommend.
