Regarding guidance related to HTML table in email body
Hello All,
I have a query here. I am sending an HTML table(which I am creating it by a call to REST API, in a LINUX box) and from there I have to send it into an email. So following are the poins on same:
- As data is not static so it is writing Dynamic data and creating HTML file.
- There is a table which has many fields into it in that HTML file.
- I am sending this HTML table into an email by shell script(command sendmail).
- All field's value could be of any length.
So above are some information points on this, following is the question now on same.
Query:
As I mentioned above field's length could be any. So when I am sending that email with HTML table, so it's one field has more length compare of any other field, so because of it all other fields(including columns and data) are shrinking into size and it is looking very odd in email. Basically I require all the fields to be same width and all values should come in single line into email, off course there could be a limit for wordwrap but field's data should go till that but that's not happening.
Following are the things I had tried too in order to fix it(which didn't work):
- Tried to fix table's width.
- Used {"white-space: nowrap"}.
Tried above but it didn't work, I can't paste data here apologies for it but I have tried my best to explain the issue, please do let me know if any further information required here too. Could anyone please help in same, will be grateful.
Thanks,
R. Singh

uuencode
UUENCODE(5) File Formats Manual UUENCODE(5)
NAME
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file
DESCRIPTION
Files output by uuencode(1) consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. The uudecode(1) command will
ignore any lines preceding the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header.
The header line is distinguished by having the first 6 characters begin The word begin is followed by a mode (in octal), and a string
which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line.
The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters long (including the trailing newline). These consist of a character
count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a newline. The character count is a single printing character, and represents an inte-
ger, the number of bytes the rest of the line represents. Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can be determined by sub-
tracting the character space (octal 40) from the character.
Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters printing. The last
line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on
the last line. Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a count
of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space.
The trailer line consists of end on a line by itself.
