Bulk Email Line Length Restriction

Post by halil16 »

This problem has been around for a long time, I've known. I didn't write it, but now it bothers me.

The article I send mass e-mails to members is broken. In other words, it divides the text into lines according to its own measure. Therefore, extra spaces are created on devices with small screens.

This is a problem for me in terms of order.

Excuse me, I use Google Translate and sometimes it doesn't translate as I want. In other words, when I write plain text with no carriage returns, the system returns a carriage return after a certain length. This text is distorted on small screen devices. I tried to show this in the demo pictures.

That is expected behaviour for decades already: RFC 5322 § 2.1.1 (current form of RFT 2822 from 2001) clearly tells you plaintext e-mail lines have a limit, and phpBB enforces it by breaking after 75 or more octals. Not following this standard risks that one of the MTAs that route your e-mail won't process it (and might perform that linebreak themselves). I'm pretty sure the line length limit stems from the 1970s.

Please edit your first post's subject, so this topic title makes more sense. I.e. "e-mail line length restriction".

Thank you. I think phpBB emails works fine, but could be much better with minor tweaks. Like this simple problem.

You don't understand. This is not a phpBB issue. phpBB follows an industry wide, decades old standard and practice limiting plain text emails to 75 octals ±. If you want to solve the problem, attach the document as .pdf

The solution would be HTML emails. However, I agree, this is a support forum for the software "as is".
Nevertheless, it seems to be appropriate to call the software poor in that limited respect.

How can you call the software "poor" just because it complies with industry standards - if it didn't comply then your assertion would be correct. Maybe the standards are wrong and need updating - but that is something for discussing in another place.

Would this length limitation apply to html emails?

It applies to every text payload. But looking from another angle at the situation you'll notice that HTML is immune to whitespaces (such as linebreaks). Again this is basic knowledge, ripe of 28 years.
