How to deal with word wrapping in Get-Content

[58sniper]

I'm using this code to capture all activity in a PoSh session and email it to myself. It works great, except that the content of the file ends up as one long word wrapped line in the body of the email.

$logfolder = "C:\Temp\"
$logname = Get-Date -f "MM-dd-yyyy hh-mm-ss P"   
$emaillogname = Get-Date -f "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ssp"   
$logpath = $logfolder + $logname + "M.txt"

function Begin-Transcript	{
    if(Test-Path $logfolder)
    {
    Start-Transcript $logpath -append -force
    }
}

function Email-Transcript	{
    $message = New-Object System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
    $message.From = "administrator@contoso.com"
    $message.To.Add("pat@contoso.com")
    $message.Subject = "PowerShell Transcript $emaillogname" + "m"

    $smtp = New-Object System.net.Mail.SmtpClient
    $smtp.Host = "sh-email2.contoso.local"   
    $smtp.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
    $smtp.Send($message)
}


function Bye	{
    Stop-Transcript
    Email-Transcript
    Remove-Item    $logpath   
    exit
}

Begin-Transcript

I've verified that the text file is correctly formatted. It's only when it's inserted into the body of the email that it wraps. This renders is pretty much impossible.

Has anyone had this issue before, and found a way around it?

Maybe I am missing something here but I don't see you actually using $message.body.

Have you tried using HTML?

$mailmessage.IsBodyHtml = 1

I hope you find this post helpful.
