I have received an important email on my one plus 6 phone. However the wording on the email is all in a single vertical line of text which is making it extremely difficult to read.

I don't have a tablet or a laptop so any ideas how I can see or read this email on my phone in a horizontal line of text?

Thanks

Have you tried forwarding the email to yourself, it may reformat it? Or perhaps forward to a different email address.

Do you use Outlook?

You can do it online using various text replacement websites. Ultimately you just need to delete the "new line" characters at the end of each line

The challenge is that you need to preserve the spaces between each word which, in your vertical mail, will probably be represented by 2 consecutive new line characters.

I just tested this but you need to do it in 2 stages

1) Go to this website - https://www.browserling.com/tools/regex-replace

2) Paste all your text into the blue box

3)
a) Preserve the spaces between the words by entering this into the the "Regular exp:" box /[^\w]{2}/g (Suggest to copy everything in bold to avoid errors)
b) Enter a single space in the "Replacement" box
c) Press the "Replace Regexp!"" button

4)
a) Now remove all the remaining new line characters by entering this into the "Regular exp:" box /[^\w ]/g (Suggest to copy everything in bold to avoid errors)
b) Ensure that the "Replacement" box contains nothing (The space you added in the step 3 will still be there, but now needs removing)
c) Press the "Replace Regexp!"" button

Sorry guys but it sounds too complicated for me.

Thanks anyway

I’d try to paste the text info ChatGPT and ask it “can you tell me what this says”

Probably my dumb way of resolving this would be to get a pen and paper and write down each word from the email

Turning the phone on its side usually fixes vertical text for me. YMMV.

I think the oneplus 6 is now not being supported with updates from oneplus, Could be possible that the email has been sent from a platform that your phone can now no longer support correctly.
