Sending mail via CDO

[Ed_R]

I'm sending mail using CDO. The user creats their message in a memo
field on a form and submits it . The message is formatted via HTML .
Message is being sent, everything was ok except I noticed I wasn't
getting hard spaces in message body where I wanted them. So added the
text below and that fixed that

Yesterday though when I sent a mesaage, I noticed that there are no
carraige returns in my message unless I insert one. My memo field is
about 80 charactors wide. Once the typing goes to the right side, it
auto wraps in the screen to the next line just like a document in Word
does. However when receiving the email everything is all on one line.
Lines would scroll way off to the right. If when typing the message,
after maybe three lines, I had skipped a line for a new paragraph,
there would also be a corrisponding line skip in the email as expected.
But other than these hard spaces, the text is continuous.

I'm not sure, maybe it had been behaving like this all along, but only
noticed it yesterday, after I added the text below. Could adding that
somehow screw up word wrap or was it already bad and I just didn't
notice. Though at least two recepients of the message I sent yesterday
als onoticed it for the first time.

More importantly, how can I fix this so the messges have a line break
every 80 or so charactors in addition to any hard line breaks I enter
manually.

'Add Br and   charators to format html properly

'Replace all vbCrLf with <BR>s
message_text_value = Replace(message_text_value, vbCrLf, "<BR>")

'Replace all spaces with &nbsp;
message_text_value = Replace(message_text_value, " ", "&nbsp;")

Suggest you try a ASP newsgroup as this is really not a FP related issue.

Try adding wrap="hard " or wrap="off" (not sure which) to your <textarea> tag.
This will stop the browser from throwing away any line endings that the
visitor enters.

wrap="soft" is the default. Text is displayed with
wordwrapping and submitted without carriage
returns and line feeds.
wrap="hard" Text is displayed with wordwrapping and
submitted with soft returns and line feeds.
wrap="off" Wordwrapping is disabled. The lines appear
exactly as the user types them.

Then, when formatting your message, change all line endings to <br> tags.
Here's an example:

strMsgBody = strMsgBody & _
replace(server.htmlencode(Request.Form("txtComment")), vbCrLf, "<br>")
