All, Mail messages should be wrapped at 78 characters (as suggested in RFC 2822). I want my python batch scripts/cron jobs to enforce this behavior, and format the mail that is sent out so that newline characters are inserted as appropriate to keep line lengths at 78 characters or less. I wrote a function to take a string and format it in this manner, but it seemed a bit awkward and un-Python like (my background is mostly C, and the function looks very much like C code). I'd imagine that there's probably a short, succinct, more elegant solution using regular expressions or some module that is unknown to me. Does anyone have any clean, short solutions to this problem?
