Description of the need
As reported on https://backdrop.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/218635-Backdrop/topic/How.... I tracked the lines are getting wrapped by backdrop_wrap_mail() following really outdated RFC standards and that breaks the format of messages read on modern mail clients.
Proposed solution
@albanycomputers (https://backdrop.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/218635-Backdrop/topic/How....):
The RFC Standard for emails are "old" to say the least and other techniques for manipulating emails have been developed, i.e. modern email clients and HTML encoding... etc..
So, I would agree, remove the hard coding and either leave it at that or add an option to wrap at line 80.
Hope this helps.
Alternatives that have been considered
I could not find any way of bypassing this wrapping at about 78 characters when I really need one of the projects to be sending continuous lines, letting the receiving client program do the correct wrapping.
