Can be the program you use to read with that shows it as if there is a
linebreak. You should check this up with a hex editor and see if there are any
form of data between those two "lines".

Another thing that can make line break is that the sender has run it through a
word processor and got automatic line breaks on long rows.

No, fwrite don't append any new lines
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php

You can use strlen() to get the length of the string and use it as an argument
for fwrite(), this will disable magic_quotes_runtime

eg: " -> \"

fwrite(fp,$string);

or

fwrite(fp,$string,strlen($string));

But this requires of course that the data sent are all in one line, otherwise
you will need to start using ereg functions to remove line breaks, take a look
at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php
