No, Entourage follows the RFC protocols - 80 columns maximum, so they wrap at the nearest word end to 76 characters leaving room for 4 reply-quote symbols (>) to get added by later respondents without mangling anything. Some other email clients don't follow protocols.

Most email clients (Eudora, etc.) seem to get it right. I don't know about Outlook, although 70 seems awfully narrow. Are you sure about that? I'd have guessed 76 without the 4 extra, but I don't actually know. Don't forget they all break before the nearest word end previous to the cutoff. > > I figure I should change my wrap to 66. There's no setting to do that, aside from doing it manually by pressing the Return key when a line looks long enough. A script could do it, but I don't know whether anyone's done so. I wouldn't - it's too fussy. Or you could reply in HTML. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
