Re: plain text - don't confuse content type and encoding. You can
have arbitrarily long lines in plaintext email. They get broken into
80-char lines in transit, but that's at the same level where all equal
signs become =3D and so on, and it's undone at the other end. If your
mail client hard-wraps outgoing messages above the encoding level, and
you can't turn that "feature" off, that's a problem with your client,
not with the medium of plaintext email.
Well, it seems that your email software has that problem.
As to the non-ASCII chars in the Applescript set, you've piqued my
curiosity. What does the language use VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER
for?
That's a problem with the reader in your handheld; the original
message didn't have that character in it (nor did it have the 3/4
character).
