How can I stop MailApp.sendEmail() from adding line breaks to an email body every ~80 chars?












0















I am using a google script attached to a google sheet in my Google Drive to send emails. I have noticed that MailApp.sendEmail() sends emails with a body that have doesn't quite look like the original: it adds a line break every ~75 characters (without interrupting words).



How can I stop the MailApp.sendEmail() function from doing this?



Here's an example to illustrate:



Running this function :



function sendTestEmail(){

  var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.";

  MailApp.sendEmail("test@gmail.com", "test", text);

}


Will give an email that looks like this



In case it's useful, I tested a bit: a 76 character sentence stays on one line (no more), but adding an extra word made the last two words of this new sentence go to a new line.



Thanks a lot in advance !



EDIT 1: These line breaks do not appear in mac mail or thunderbird, but do appear on the iphone gmail app.



Also I tried using html instead of plain text, and it does remove the unwanted line breaks: great! But it also removes all line breaks unless I put <br> manually.

          I might need to fine tune details, but as suggested the following works for me. The text.replace is needed to make the line breaks I might put in intentionally to appear in the html email.



          function sendTestEmail(){

                    Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

                    Image
                    28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

                    A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

                    3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
