BTW: format=flowed just is a definition that says "don't break the lines as they are wrapped in the source". And this is what Roundcube does. Without format=flowed, the line breaks from the original source are kept and lines are wrapped as intended by the author. Your scenario only is a problem when your browser window is smaller than to fit the 80 chars of the plain text body and this is very unlikely, even on 1024 screens. I think you're chasing ghosts here. > This breaks the display of things such as tables, charts, ASCII-Art etc., > and makes them pretty unreadable.

This is not that simple as I already explained to you. Many email systems produce messages without proper line breaks and without specifying format=flowed. I see mails (not sent from MUAs but other systems) which have long lines of text because lazy programmers don't understand how emails actually work. Forcing them to not being automatically wrapped by the browser would give you single-line messages with lots of horizontal scrolling. > > Technically this is possible, as I just verified. ;) Yes it is, but there are some reasons not to so. But we could start by adding some min-width: style to the message body to enforce a minimum width for the text contents. But I fear the side-effects of simply adding no-wrap for plain text parts without format=flowed. ~Thomas _______________________________________________ Roundcube Development discussion mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
