RTM Wordwrap 72 chars

RTM Wordwrap 72 chars

Ok guys, new to RTM and finding it very useful. However, I have hit a stumbling block with the 'wordwrap issue'

Lots of search in goggle hasn't given me an answer so some help please

My Setup
Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 to exchange server, work set-up, no flexibility in this
Outlook set to HTML format for emails

Issue
I have quick links set up to add default tags, location etc. and am happy with the syntax, problem is that when I type a set of task, with the formatting its likely to be longer than 72 chars and it creates multiple tasks.

Where now?
Can I turn the wordwrap off in outlook, lengthen it? Other solutions?

Thanks in Advance

Hi alec.harley,
It's possible that word wrapping is something happening on the Exchange server itself, but it would be worth disabling automatic removal of line breaks in Outlook's Options. (This may only control incoming messages though.)

Also, it'd be worth trying to send messages to your Remember The Milk address in plain text; if you have the address in your Contacts, you can set the preferred format of messages to that address to be in plain text.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, couple off things:

my digging indicated it's the server (I have no control)
Does anyone know WHERE to remove auto breaks in Outlook 2010?
Are there any plans to change the email parser to maybe add a flag to ignore word wrapping and only look at hard returns?

thanks
