Hello guys,
i am using EmailOutputNode to send a email as MIME message on IBM ACE product. Right now i face a issue to have well formated email that comply all RFC standards (fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000278382-Email-standards)
I did not found in IBM documentation anything about RFC standards , in java class that ibm use is also nothing.
Do i have to apply all RFC standards myself or there is some way to make it ACE without my interaction?
For example RFC5322 which define how many characters should be in 1 line. Do i have to insert CRLF after 76 characters in 10 MB attachment? It will kill my CPU
Thank you for knowledge sharing.
I do not see any property to control the length of the lines in the output.

Two points about this:
a) https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322#section-2.1.1 says that lines must be 'no more than 998 characters'. The 78-character limit is a 'should' not a 'must'.
b) Your CPU will be doing the work, even if ACE has an option to format the output to 78-character lines. ACE is very efficient in using CPU. In fact, doing the formatting in ESQL might be faster than letting the EmailOutput node do it.
Make sure you are not mixing up "attachments" and the "body" of an email. Attachments are encoded for you according to the "Attachment Content Encoding" property so you should not need to insert line breaks there. RFC5322 seems to apply to the message body whereas RFC2045 deals with MIME attachments... _________________ MGK
