Brainard,
In Outlook (on the sending machine), look at Tools|Options|Mail Format|Settings|Automatically wrap when sending setting. Set this to 80 characters or more.
An option to consider is using HTML...
>I am trying to send an invoice with VFP. I am creating the invoice by concatenating each line to a string and using chr(13)+chr(10) for new lines.
>I then use shellexecute to send the email with the string as the body.
>When i check Outlook's outbox the invoice looks perfect.(Just as it would if printed). I use all 80 columns.
>
>When the email is received at the other end, the formating is gone. the worst thing that happends is the the last 5 colums are wrapped around to the next line.
>How can i fix.
