Extra line breaks in HTML mail sent by Outlook
Last modified: 2008-08-26 08:59:37 UTC
Description of Problem: I always get extra line breaks in HTML mail sent from Outlook clients. Email that should look like: Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Looks like: Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Here is a screen shot: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/jdrabb/files/evo-line-breaks.png Here is the text of the email: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/jdrabb/files/evo-line-breaks.txt The "HTML" that the outlook client outputs is pretty bad looking. I think they are using MS Office to handle their HTML emails in outlook. Sadly, most people where I work do this. Is there any way to have a remvoe extra line breaks button for email like this? Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. See above 2. 3. Actual Results: Extra line breaks in broken Outlook HTML mail Expected Results: Some way to work around this such as a button to remove extra line breaks in HTML email How often does this happen? Every time Additional Information: Red Hat 9, XD2, evolution-1.4.5-0.ximian.6.0, ximian-connector-1.4.5-0.ximian.6.1
Hi James, is this still a problem? And if so, can you upload here a sample mail, please?

Created attachment 117390 [details] sample mail Thanks for reminding me of the bug. I have a sample mail, slightly modified, but the content is still that one. The interesting thing is that the plaintext body part shows data in the same way as evolution. And in HTML part, every single line is closed in the paragraph. I'm not sure whether we can cheat this by default, maybe it requires some menu option to force cutting empty lines?
