[Users] Problem sending html with really long lines

Hi,

Is there a line length limit when sending .html files? 

I create thousands of plotly (http://plotly.com) line charts. 
Tonight, for the first time I emailed one to some team members on a video
call; but each member could not open the .html file. I zip'ed the file
and they were then able to view the chart.

I sent the same .html file to another of my accounts; on receipt,
it would not open in my browser.

Comparing the sent and received files, the sizes are:
3717564 Nov 30 20:52 NC_AUDITOR~3.html        # sent
3718018 Nov 30 21:25 /tmp/NC_AUDITOR~3.html   # received

Looking into the files, the sent file, other than a few lines of header
and trailer info, the rest of the file is one long single line.

However, the received file has a newline character inserted every 0x2000
(8192) characters, At non-natural code break points, this causes the
browser to fail to display the data.

What I don't know is if these newline characters are inserted by CM or by
my service provider.

Any idea if I should open a CM bug report?

Thanks,
Pierre
