Problem with carriage return and MailMessage

[Jules22]

Hi,

I am using MailMessage to create a text email and for some strange reason once the length of one row in the body gets over 40 characters the carriage return stops working. I need a text email not html. Any clues?

MailMessage Message = new MailMessage(ei. from, ei.to, ei.subject, "");

This works and contains a carriage return ...

Message.Body = "12345678901234 567890 234567890123456 789" + "\r\n should be on new line";

This doesn't work and everything is on the same line ...

Message.Body = "12345678901234 567890 234567890123456 7890" + "\r\n should be on new line";

Environment.New Line gives the same result,using .net framework 4.

A college worked this one out for me. I was using Outlook to read the emails and it decided to remove the "extra" carriage returns for me, apparently after a line is over a certain length.
