O$ - kCr and kLf in Plain Text Email

[Michael Mantkowski]

Scotte,

I think you nailed it.

I did have one location that had a standalone LF.

Changed it to a CRLF and error goes away.

Thanks,

Mike

According to RFC 2822, the Internet Message Format standard:

The body of a message is simply lines of US-ASCII characters.  The
   only two limitations on the body are as follows:

   - CR and LF MUST only occur together as CRLF; they MUST NOT appear
     independently in the body.

   - Lines of characters in the body MUST be limited to 998 characters,
     and SHOULD be limited to 78 characters, excluding the CRLF.
