apple mail adds \n about every 72 characters or so - how do I strip these and preserve actual \n


Looking at the raw, generated email generated from AppleMail, it doesn't appear that I can tell the difference between the \n characters generated by the application, and \n characters created by the user. The ones generated by the program do not have a consistent occurrence but it seems that it's in the range of 70-73. I would like to strip these out and save the ones by the user.

Have any of you had a similar problem?


Solution

  • It looks to me like the soft breaks are all preceded by a space character, while the hard breaks are all not.

    When I try to compose a message that has a space right before a hard break, Mail strips the space on send.
