Check your Outlook email options, recent versions have one to suppress "extra" line breaks. I don't know the algorithm used but I'd say the results tend to be unpredictable.

I am sending a fixed format 80 byte record CMS file. When I get the file on my PC through Microsoft Office Outlook sometimes the lines get concatenated together. For example, I am sending the following CMS file: The following printer(s) may be experiencing a problem: UNKNOWN has 6 file(s) older than 120 minutes Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7409 - 1 day 22 hours 47 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7376 - 1 day 22 hours 52 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 3612 - 2 days 22 hours 50 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 3599 - 2 days 22 hours 52 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7362 - 1 day 22 hours 54 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 6098 - 4 hours 10 minutes old Please verify with CP SMSG RSCS Q printer Q or CP SMSG RSCS Q SYS Q ------------- E N D O F T R AN S M I S S I O N ------------- And when I get it as mail on my PC it looks like The following printer(s) may be experiencing a problem: UNKNOWN has 6 file(s) older than 120 minutes Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7409 - 1 day 22 hours 47 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7376 - 1 day 22 hours 52 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 3612 - 2 days 22 hours 50 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 3599 - 2 days 22 hours 52 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 7362 - 1 day 22 hours 54 minutes old Printer UNKNOWN spoolid 6098 - 4 hours 10 minutes old Please verify with CP SMSG RSCS Q printer Q or CP SMSG RSCS Q SYS Q ------------- E N D O F T R AN S M I S S I O N ------------- When I use the TEST option of MAILIT, it looks good in my reader so I don't think it is MAILIT. I'm doing more testing but does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks, Mike
