I'm using SAS 9.4 to generate a HTML5 file, works just fine, but when attaching the file to an email, I get the "ERROR: An attachment record was truncated. The attachment LRECL is too small." error. I previously got this error in 9.2 and it was fixed by adding the (content_type="text/HTML") from this support paper:
http://support.sas.com/kb/39/996.html
But for HTML5, it doesn't seem to work, nor does setting LRECL=9999, as other workarounds have suggested. Any thoughts?

Looks like the bitmap for the graph generates a "line" much in excess of any expected text line size.
Take a look at the generated file and see what is in there, maybe a further increase of lrecl may help.
Another option could be to avoid the "inline" graphics, set ODS so that all output (including the graphs) are stored in a single directory, and then attach all files in the directory to the email, with correct type specification.
Just came to my mind: what if you zip the .htm and attach the zipped file with a correct filetype?

The generated graph is only 110 KB, but it does appear that upping the LRECL = 9999999 seems to work (999999 sent the email without the error, but the file wouldn't open). Does the LRECL statement tie directly to file size?

LRECL => Logical RECord Length , related to the length of any single record. In tabular data that usually corresponds to the content of a single row. Image files however tend not to have a "row" content, just one big long sequence or a single record.
You'll note that the original fix related to Text, not Image which is another type of content.
