XIMS: Internet Mail Service MIME Word Wrap Defaults to 76 Characters

You may notice that the default Message text word wrap setting for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) attachments are incorrect. You can observe this behavior when you administer the Internet Mail Service by clicking the Internet Mail tab, and then by clicking Advanced options.

On the Internet Mail tab of the Internet Mail Service properties, you can click Message Content to send attachments by using MIME or uuencode. If you select MIME to send attachments, in the Advanced options dialog box, under Message text word wrap, Never is selected by default. The value in the At column box is also set to 76 by default, and is unavailable (dimmed).

To ignore the default word wrapping for MIME attachments, click At column, and then reselect Never.

The value in the At column box is changed to "0". If this value is set to "0", the default word wrapping for MIME attachments is ignored.
