Email without line breaks

Email without line breaks
Hello!

There's one problem I still have (strange, it's only with the "your link has not been added"-email, the others work):

There are no returns in the mail! I.E., it's all mailed in one line and believe me, that dosn't look good.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I already tried 3 times to enter all the returns once again, but nothing changed. Why the hell is it only with that one email and not with the others?

Thanks,
Denis

Hmm...Did you edit the email-del.txt file via your browser??

Try using WordPad to edit the file if you are not editing the file online.

No, I edited those files via Notepad. I had the same problems already with the other two, but now they're fixed and only email-del.txt is left.

So, I tried then to edit it with Wordpad - nothing's better. Than I downloaded a third texteditor - Proton - and it's still not working.

Although I uploaded te files both binary and ASCII to find out - what's the correct way?

ASCII is the ONLY mode for uploading text files!

ASCII - yes I thought so. But, since it didn't work I also tried out binary.

Nothings working. Yesterday I completely wrote the message new with MS Outlook Email in pure text-mode - also not working!

Is it possible that there's a problem within my admin.cgi (or whatever script sends the mail, I don't remember 100% at the moment)?

I really don't think so. BTW: The scripts used to send out the email notification is admin.cgi.

Have you tried simply editing the files in your web browser in the LINKS MANAGER console??? I asked this before and you said, NO. Please try editing the message through your web browser and see what happens.

Then I meant 'Yes'.

The funny thing is, that online in my admin.cgi the mail appears with all line breaks as entered - but when I make a test entry and delete it I received a 'mixed up' mail. But only when I delete it, the confirmation mails are 100% ok...

Strange.

If you would like to try it out - go here:

You will enter directly to our Links and can add a Link via "Seite anmelden" on the left side of the screen.
You'll know the fields except 'Stichworte' which is an additional and means keywords. Make a test entry, if you like - when I find something from Eliot I'll delete it...

Then the problem is not with LINKS, but with your sendmail program or SMTP server. They are having a problem interpreting inline text from template files.

If you are using Blat Mail or WinMail, you will have to re-configure these programs to allow inline text from external template files in your email messages sent from Perl/CGI scripts.

Contact your Hosting Company or Server Administrator for assistance.
