limit the width of e-mail message

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm using the mail() function to send e-mails to subscribers of my newsletter. Somehow, when I send a message using a standard HTML form in the recipients e-mail box the message stretches out over the entire page. And I'd like to limit its size up to let's say 80 characters per line.

Is there an idea how to do this in PHP?

you may use hard wrapping :
<textarea wrap="hard">
or the wordwrap() function

I've tried wordwrap but without success. Any other suggestions?

I've also encountered an additional problem: when sending text from a form all text that is placed after " gets truncated. And it's preety impossible not to use " when you want to quote someone:-)

Any tips?

the <pre> tag and the addslashes() function
