Line breaks in the middle of fields in the E-mail message

Hm, I'm not sure what could be causing this. It looks like you're sending e-mails as HTML. So do you have the MIME Mail module installed? If you send the mails as plain-text, does the same problem occur?

Think this is the same issue I'm having

Thanks @associate for filing that bug report at #2157325: Email Results Formatting Issue. Let's consolidate these two requests here. From that issue:

When I receive submission results for 1 of my webforms, one of my questions is returned as the following in the email

Q. Where do you want the item to be covered? Both in and
away
from
home

It's adding in a line breaks into the select value.

I created a new select with the same options and the same thing happens.

The field is nestled within 3 fieldsets but I've tried it in 1 and 2 fieldsets and it still adds line breaks but not as many. It seems it's to with the length of the question and answer.

Webform indeed includes some handling to prevent long lines in responses. According to the spec for e-mails, all mails are *supposed* to be wrapped after a certain text length. However, this doesn't apply to HTML-sent e-mails, which shouldn't be getting these <br /> tags added.

@associate is also correct that the more fieldsets you have, the more results get nested and the more likely the text is to wrap.

The code that is likely causing this wrapping is in theme_webform_element_text():

  // Wrap long values at 65 characters, allowing for a few fieldset indents.
  // It's common courtesy to wrap at 75 characters in e-mails.
  if ($is_group && drupal_strlen($value) > 65) {
    $value = wordwrap($value, 65, "\n");
    $lines = explode("\n", $value);
    foreach ($lines as $key => $line) {
      $lines[$key] = '  ' . $line;
    }
    $value = implode("\n", $lines);
  }

You can override this in your theme to try an fix the problem. Ideally, we'd find a way to prevent the problem from happening for all users, so if you come up with any good ideas, I'd be happy to review them for including in the main module itself.

While 7.x-3.x is receiving critical fixes only, I think this issue still applies to 7.x-4.x.

Closing for lack of activity. It's not clear whether this still happens in 7.x-4.x.
