Actually, looking at the resulting file, it *does* say it's charset="us-ascii". > An email client would read "=\r\n" as a soft line break, and remove it > when displaying the message. I tried cutting/pasting the text, and sending it to myself, but the resulting email still displayed as wrapped (I'm using Eudora 7 on Windows XP). However, I'm not sure if I managed to *exactly* duplicate the scenario if Django sent a real email. When I cut/pasted the text (from Notepad++) into Eudora, it *looked* the same - an "=" followed by a carriage return, but that's not to say it is exactly what Django would have done, I admit. Maybe I should back up a level and explain my original problem :) I'm using the *django-registration* app, which can send an email with an account activation link, where the link is a long URL, with a random token at the end, matching a token in the new account. And the email (or text file) that I'm seeing generated, contains a line break in the *token* part of the URL - so a user couldn't just cut/paste the link and have it work. The *django-registration* app has been around for a while, I'm sure I'm not the first one to encounter this scenario, it must work fine for zillions of other people :) If you're sure email readers will handle the text properly, then I guess I have to skip using Django's file-based email backend, and actually configure something to send real email. I was hoping to not do this just yet, but so it goes. :) Thanks for the replies. John C> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
