New line in email

New line in email

am 19.08.2007 18:31:43 von Shelly

I am trying to send an email using mailto. This will be a text email, but I
want to have the body formatted with line breaks. When I send it using
either \n or \r\n the text runs together and I don't get separate lines.
Any hints?

Use a better mail client when you read the mail, I would suggest pine.

How are you sending the email?
Is it truly a text-only email? Or is it a multipart MIME message with a
plain text and HTML text alternative?
What is your receiving email client?

Using mailto protocol in form's action is just a *bad idea* see

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=using+mailto+form+actio n+bad&btnG=Search
using mailto form action bad - Google Search

for a litany of reasons. Send to a server-side script for processing and
then process data exactly to your specifications.

I am actually sending the email via php using the mail() function. I
assumed it was the same effect that was causing the problem and wanted to
simplify the question so that I wouldn't get "go to a php group (I did that
too)". I was just looking for the right escape code to create a new line.
Yes, you are correct. I use a function that I drew from the web to handle
an attachment which has in it the mail() function -- and it IS a MIME
message with a plain text body.

As for your other comment, I am quite happy using Outlook Express as my mail
reader, but the question is in the sending from the website to anyone
else --- not what I use personally.

Everybody has their favourite e-mail client. An all HTML one is
mailvault.com. You can access the site from behind a web proxy, it
encrypts e-mail and you can use a digital signature. Pine is no good

3. A 6 line signature is approx 2 more than the standard accepted maximum.

He's using some kind of gateway. That's no excuse; I'm just making an

Ah, that's a signature even if it is just one line, one word or one
character. If you preface it with a line constructed as 2 hyphens a
space followed by a carriage return most newsreaders will automatically
strip it off and anything that follows when quoting. Someone here has a
link how to fix your MS OE to follow Usenet convention

His response was not to one of your posts. D'oh!

But why did you quote *his* *valid* sig? Your software should auto snip
it.

But that does happen to be a sig that is not properly delimited, so you
still score 1 out of 3 on nige's fix-it list.

No, it is not. The "Shelly" is part of the text I type. I have no
signature appended. Nothing. Nada. Notince that this message has no
"Shelly" typed in at the end. It should just be these few sentences.

As I explained in another response, the "Shelly" is typed by me each time.

Now, does anyone have an answer to the newline question?

As a wild guess, your reader is not recognizing the sequence or you have to
escape the slash (-like \\r\\n) to pass it thru "plain" in order to get it
intact to the reader.

Doesn't matter if you type it in or not, it's still a sig.

If it's HTML then a new line is simply whitespace. Nothing more. Just like
in a web page.

What you probably want is

So you do your sig the hard way. It's still a sig.

Belay that. Where on earth did I get the idea this was an HTML email? Mixing
up threads methinks :-(

Another thought:

Send yourself one. Then look at the raw source of the email, as in
properties->details->message source or something.

If you want to ask Blinky a question, reply to one of _his_ posts
(quoting his sig to provide context). Some sharks don't hear too well;
they like you to swim closer. :-o

I suggested quoting the sig because that's where Anonymous saw Blinky's

I see what you mean now. However, I have been posting for over ten years
now and have an untold number of posts. This is the very first time anyone
has ever mentioned it and, frankly, with a "one word sig" I consider it no
BFD.

10 years of posting to Usenet...huh...probably pissed off a number of
folks and in 10 years. In the 10 years you never learned the difference
between multi-posting [bad] and cross-posting [okay, if conservative in
number and to *relevant* groups]?

Did you say how? "Posted" doesn't tell if it's crossposted or
multiposted. I presume you multiposted. Crossposting is better.

Your sig is still not properly delimited.

Whether it's one word or one line or more, it's still somehthing that
when done incorrectly - like your sigs - forces everyone who responds to
manually remove it. If done correctly, their software (if properly set
up, probably unlike yours) automatically deletes it in their reply. So
while it's not a BFD to you, it is to those whom you selfishly and
lazily and cluelessly inconvenience.

What's so hard about adding the three proper keystrokes before that?

If you let your own software add the (properly delimited) sig, it would
take NO more work. It would take less.

You are truly clueless.

Erm?. Please post an URL to the page that has the mail link.
I am not at all clear how you get a mailto: link to a php function.
Usually the mailto: simply opens your default mail client.

maybe time to learn some new stuff. Even after 10 years you will realise
that there is something new out there.

http://www.mailvault.com/ seems to have died a silent death. Its
security certificate expired on the 1 October 2006. And the last item
of "system news" is dated 20 July 2006 about a DOS attack.

That's recent. George Orwell was probably writing about 1984 again...

Either the OP has given up on mailto or was never using it in the first
place.
