Re: [Evolution] Forced Line Wrap on Received Messages

[Eric Lambart <ximian nomeaning net>]

Hmmmm... *shrug* works fine for me.  Rather than all the bother of
writing yoruself a script, perhaps you could figure out what's causing
the problem.  Some Ximian library not up-to-date?

I suggest you try to find/create a non-confidential e-mail that you can
attach to a bug report, or forward (as attachment) to this list, so
others can see if they observe the same symptoms.
