This is a bit off-topic for me, but since I ran into it, I blog about it.
So I’m testing one of my CRM add-ons which involves sending an email to an email-enabled CRM queue.
I’m sending an email with an XML packet in the email body. Unfortunately, Outlook keeps hard-wrapping the text by inserting carriage-returns which end up breaking the XML into fragments.
Fortunately, Slipstick Systems came to my rescue, as always ( anything Outlook/Exchange-related ).
Anyway, I found a reference to a KB article that mentions how to make Outlook “not wrap� plain text emails going out over the Internet.
Perfect!
Other than having to change the Registry Key mentioned in the KB article to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0
instead of Office\11.0 ( for Outlook 2003 ), everything worked and I can get back to testing.

Thanks for the tip.
The stupid thing is, that when you select "save as txt" there seems to be a hardcoded line width (78 characters).
So it is not possible to use automated csv emails for a easy import in excel due the limitation of 78 characters per line.
With outlook 2003 this was no problem.
