Welcome email text file strips carriage returns
/ Having a problem with the "Welcome email text file". / Is the recipient using Outlook with the "Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages" box checked?
Thanks for the responses.
I'm running FireFox Thunderbird that doesn't appear to have that type of setting, if it does, doesn't have an option to turn on/off.
Did you follow the "(Details for welcome_msg)" link? If you do, I think the details there will answer your question
No, that's from the General Options page, I've not added anything to the "List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message" box so didn't associate it with what I'm working on the "Welcome email text file" page (admin URL ending in /subscribeack.txt) which has no info link to any wrap rules.
Seems the rules used on the "List-specific text prepended to new-subscriber welcome message" box are also used on the contents of what you add to "Welcome email text file" page.
Note that this text will be wrapped, according to the following rules:
- Each paragraph is filled so that no line is longer than 70 characters.
- Any line that begins with whitespace is not filled.
- A blank line separates paragraphs.
So the solution was add a space before the text of any line you don't want to have carriage returns stripped, like:
line 1 line 2 line 3
Got it sorted :-)
Thanks again.

That is correct. Both the welcome_msg text and the "Welcome email text file" are processed by the Mailman.Utils.wrap() function and wrapped according to those rules.
Got it sorted :-)
Good.
