Some mailer splits messages up (I can't remember exactly why and what was
the size, but it was around 70 chars). Most e-mail client uses some
encodings to get around so they encode it when sending and decode it when
receiving and because it is a standard all e-mail client will handle it.

Anyway, if you know that your message is encoded in 80 chars, then just drop
all CRLFs and reconstruct it. Or you can use those encodings
(quoted-printable or Base64 or uuencode for example). These work pretty well
in all MTAs and clients.

Tamas
