I am trying to send emails by Gmail API with Python. But when I check the received email,I find that it seems that each row is automatically broken at 78th chars. The screen shot can be seen as below:enter image description here

It seems to be caused by RFC 2045. But can I reset some parameters to make it longer for each line?

My code can be seen as below:

import base64
from email.mime.audio import MIMEAudio
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

from apiclient import errors

SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose'
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = 'client_secret.json'
APPLICATION_NAME = 'send survey about assistance tool for Stack Overflow'

try:
        import argparse
        flags = argparse.ArgumentParser(parents=[tools.argparser]).parse_args()
except ImportError:
        flags = None

def SendMessage(service, user_id, message):
    """Send an email message.

    Args:

        user_id: User's email address. The special value "me"
        can be used to indicate the authenticated user.
        message: Message to be sent.

    try:
        message = (service.users().messages().send(userId=user_id, body=message)
                             .execute())
        print 'Message Id: %s' % message['id']
        return message
    except errors.HttpError, error:
        print 'An error occurred: %s' % error

    """Create a message for an email.

    service = discovery.build('gmail', 'v1', http=http)
    SendMessage(service, "me", CreateMessage("sender@gmail", "receiver@gmail.com", "Testing sending emails", "I want all my one sentence to be in each line and it will breaked by my specified line breakers.\n But it seems the line will break at 78 chars and can I reset that parameters to make it longer?"))

Any suggestions will be welcomed and thanks in advance.

  • Looks like you are facing the same issue as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40077884/gmail-api-plaintext-word-wrapping – Anthony Rossi Jun 21 '17 at 09:38
  • @AnthonyRossi No, it does not work. When I do it, it ignore all content after the "=". – ccy Jun 21 '17 at 11:12
