make a condition loop that goes through your string and trims off line by
line into an carriage return delimited list, and maintains a variable
called RemainingContent, which is everything that hasn't been trimmed yet.
cr=chr(13)&chr(10);
space_reversePos=find(" ",reverse(left(remainingContent,80)));
space_Pos=81-space_reversePos;
emailText=listappend(emailText,left(remainingContent,space_Pos-1),cr);
remainingContent=right(remainingContent,len(remainingContent)-space_Pos);
something like that?
the trick is the reverse function and the listappend function.
