Text email formating

[cwp]

I switched off HTML emails and I'm just going to use the text emails. I noticed if I leave 1 space between a sentence or paragraph it shows as 3 spaces in the email. Here's an example-

Hi username,



You have been sent the following email from a visitor to our site
regarding your listing at mydomain.com.



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: chris

Email: email@mydomain.com



Message:

test



Listing URL:

http://www.mydomain.com/listingurl

--------------------------------------------------------------------





Best regards,

Admin



In the template I have it like this -

{assign var='subject' value='You have a new message!!'}
{textformat wrap=68}
Hi {$to_username},

You have been sent the following email from a visitor to our site regarding your listing at mydomain.com.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: {$name}
Email: {$fromemail}

Message:
{$comments}

Listing URL:
{$listing_url}
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Best regards,
admin
{/textformat}


See how the first email is all spaced out? Does anyone know where to go to fix this?

I am not sure if this will fix it but could you try deleting the extra spaces in the template and since it is added them then it might just work.

[cwp]

I took out all of the spaces, but for some reason the program is written to put a space for every break. So if I do this:


hello!
thank you for contacting us!


It appears as this:

hello!

thank you for contacting us!

This puts spaces when you don't want them, even though you need to make line break for a new sentence.


I think the only solution is to just use HTML emails for now.

You might can also try changing this:
{textformat wrap=68}

to:

{textformat wrap=68 wrap_char=""}

Not sure if that will help or not though.

Here is where I found this: http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/lang...textformat.php

I used that method and some of the other ones shown on that page, but didn't turn out the way I wanted it.

I'll just go with HTML email. I guess I'm always about text email because back in the day everyone didn't have a email program that could read HTML email. It's a lot different now, and HTML is much more widely used and accepted now.
