any word on this?

The most likely cause is that your source content has unnecessary line breaks, although they may not be visible when viewed in HTML. Can you verify that this is not the case?

hello again
just had the opportunity to send another notification batch email. same problem.
i checked the source of the text. it had no breaks at all. but still i opened it in notepad and copied to drupal just to be sure. i checked the text in firebug before i sent it, it was one paragraph, no breaks.
but the received email has unexpected line breaks as before.
i have mime mail installed but notification sent out as plain text email, not using mimemail.
i use filtered html.
i dont have any other ideas.
thanks

We are having the same issue even though there are definitely no unnecessary line breaks.
Take this line, as seen in the Notify email:
Let's be honest, when XBox Live Indie started out as XBox Live
Community the
initial flush of titles was pretty uninspiring...
Compare with the HTML source code:

Looks like this warrants further investigation...

I can confirm this problem too, on a daily basis in fact. Notify recognises
line breaks
that are in the actual node, as it should, but it also adds additional
line breaks
to the email. The interesting thing is that we experience this as one line
of text,
line break, one or two words in the following line, line break, a full line
of text,
line break, one or two words of text in the next line, line break - and so
on.
Sorry about the layout - but this is exactly how I see text in notify emails every day. I use the latest D6 version of Notify and no other email/subscription related modules. Notify is set to send out teasers only, not full node body texts. Could this be wh some of us have the problem while others (those using full body) do not encounter it?

Hi you have problems with unexpected line breaks.
I want to put lines breaks intead of have a unique paragraph
I went to notifications templates and insert some line breaks, and quick I noticed tha this dosen't work.
I put line breaks with the HTML tag
. The same result. No line breaks.
How can I put line breaks in the mime mails?
Regards

Just committed a change that I'm hoping will fix this. Look for a new dev release in the next 12 hours and please test & report back.

@Mars2012 #8 -- notify doesn't explicitly support mime mail. You'll have to provide more details about what you're doing. Please open a new issue; this queue is not relevant to your question.

I have installed the latest dev version and am pleased to report that the odd line breaks have disappeared. Thanks very much for looking into this!
