sendmail add several "=" signs and split the lines.
 

Hello
I sent by mail fron one unix system to another the following line:

CRIT - 93.2% used (466.06 of 500.0 GB), (levels at 80.00/90.00%), trend: +5.60MB / 24 hours

on the receiving side i do not receive it on one line but split like this? (note the added = signs)

CRIT - 93.2% used (466.06 of 500.0 GB), (levels at 80.00/90.00%), trend=
: +5.60MB / 24 hours=

Is it possible to prevent sendmail from splitting the line

Hi there,

probably not, because this is an entirely valid transport encoding called "quoted printable".

First, all non-ASCII characters are replaced by an equal sign followed by the two-digit hex code of that character, and an actual equal sign within the message is converted to =3D. Then the lines of the message are reformatted (usually to ensure that no line exceeds 80 characters, but some MTAs use a lower limit), where an equal sign at the end of a line indicates that the following line break is NOT part of the original message.

Usually, the mail client on the receiving side should decode this transparently, so that a user never sees this encoded message.
