 * Hi
 * I’m finding this plugin is adding extra line breaks to my HTML emails.
 * How do I disable this extra line break?
 * Is there a code snippet to remove line breaks ONLY from HTML emails not plain
   text?
 * I use a combination of plain text and HTML emails on my website.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * I have the same problem, but only in plain text emails. Did you ever find a resolution
   to this?
 * Extra carriage return characters are added every line to plain text emails. This
   is particularly annoying with notifications of posts sent to subscribers via 
   the subscribe2 plugin.
 * I think it is a problem of translation between unix and windows with carriage
   return / line feed. I’ve read this was an old problem that was fixed in wp_mail(
   interfacing with PHP mail) years ago. Apparently the fix never made its way into
   the SMTP plugin.
 * Here is the source code from an example email (via my mail client):
 * > I recently came across a document that perfectly illustrates this last poin
   > =
   >  t: a=0D power point presentation by a senior Federal Reserve Bank research
   > economis= t,=0D given at a conference aimed at school teachers specializing
   > in economics.= =0D =0D
 * The =0D is the quoted-printable mime for a carriage return character, which is
   interpreted by all mail clients (in conjunction with the new lines) as double
   line breaks.

 * Sorry..this was a complex problem. Maybe try WP Mandrill as there was a feature
   to disable extra line breaks there.
