How to prevent Outlook from adding line breaks to sent plain text messages

When you send a plain text message, by default, Outlook will wrap text and insert line breaks at 76 characters. This might break your formatted paragraphs and URL links.

There is a solution which requires registry changes, however there also an option that fixes it without touching the registry. Here are the steps:

  1. Click on the File tab and select Options.
  2. Click on “Advanced” in the left column of the Options window.
  3. Scroll down to the “International Options” section.
  4. Change “Preferred encoding for outgoing messages” to “Unicode (UTF-8)”.
  5. Click “OK” at the bottom of the Options window.
  6. Restart Outlook

That should do it.

Note: This only works for Outlook 2010 or newer. For older versions of Outlook (2007 and 2003), you have to use the registry tweak. Google outlook “WrapLines”.

This solution was discussed in this thread.

SimplyTag 1.0 – Official Release

We are happy to announce the first official release of our newest product – SimplyTag. It is designed for users who organize their Outlook email using categories and tags.

There are two types of email users – “filers” and “pilers”. Filers organize email messages by filing them into a well designed folder hierarchy. Pilers usually keep their messages in one folder, usually called “Archive” and rely on search and tagging to find messages.

There are various pros and cons of using folders versus categories. Some users think folders are more intuitive. Others believe categories and tags are more flexible.

One of our most popular products, SimplyFile, has been very popular with filers. With SimplyTag, we are now able to help users who rely on tags and categories.
