E-mail puzzler
Greetings, I have been using MAILIT for a bit of time now to send e-mail to myself on my PC from VM. 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
Re: E-mail puzzler
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.

Probably it's Outlook. There is an option under Tools-Options-Preferences-E-mail Options-Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages. Tony H.

We get the same problem from some scripts on our Unixen. Something in the remove extra line end code that some idiot at MS made the default misfires on text data sent from non-Windows/DOS systems. We have an open problem report with MS on how to stop this kind of brain-damage. They can't seem to figure out how to turn off this behavior. The problem, if any, is obviously that you are not running a 100% Microsoft certified and compliant environment. Once you have converted from old technology to the latest Microsoft certified technology, all your computing problems will be resolved.
