Re: [Evolution] Long lines and line wrap; revisited



I'm not sure where this "Normal" vs "preformat" option is that you refer
to, but that isn't the solution I seek.

When I receive email messages that contain:

  long lines; admitadly due to a poorly configured server

And

  any, one or more, long lines with no white space (e.g. long URL)

Then

  The entire message is formated with lines as long as the longest
unbreakable line (non whitespace line).

This makes reading the mail very difficult.  I have to scroll the whole
window back and forth for every line.

I see no way of re-formating this view.

What I'd like is a setting that says "always break lines at NN
characters".

Is this possible?  Can it be added?

Thanks,
Dave

when I send mail with a long line, I'd like it to be kept because I made

But this is again one of those areas where tastes differ - perhaps a
user setting would be in order?

If I understand you correctly, then such a setting already exists:
select the long line in question, and choose "Preformat" in the
drop-down at the top of the message area (where it normally says...
"Normal")
