Re: [Evolution] line wrap in html preview

[Rudy van Eijsden <rudy vaneijsden org>]

What happens is indeed that the text is displayed on one long line,
where a scroll-bar appears at the bottom.
I would like it indeed to wrap a the edge of the window, regardless of
the windows-size.
I think in plain-text mails it is a hard-warp, while in the html-wrap
that I would prefer, it would be a soft-wrap.

Is there a setting so that Evolution behaves like online outlook, Gmail,
or I think also Thunderbird and Kmail?

Best,
Rudy
