Landon,

Have her try the same thing from http://killerwebmail.com when logged in
as demo and blue, to rule out a server configuration issue.

Truncation, or lack thereof, comes from the templates. Many complained
about extra-long URLs getting truncated when sending messages from
webmail, so we changed the textarea tag's parameters to not hard-wrap the
input like the stock templates. Life's full of little tradeoffs.

If you want to trade chopping long URLs in half, for occasionally finding
an email server that can't handle more than 1024 characters per line
(they're rare I believe), then edit your sendmail.html, replymsg1.html,
fwdmsg1.html, and draft.html files, finding the <textarea> tag, and
changing it from this:

<textarea accesskey="m" name="textBody" onFocus="moveCursorToTop(this);"
rows="20" cols="66" tabindex="5" class="composeMsg" wrap="virtual"
style="{width:100%;height:335px;}">

to this:

<textarea accesskey="m" name="textBody" onFocus="moveCursorToTop(this);"
rows="20" cols="66" tabindex="5" class="composeMsg" wrap="hard"
style="{width:100%;height:335px;}">

Notice that just the wrap parameter is changed, from "virtual" to "hard".
This will cause all messages from webmail to be hard-wrapped at 66
characters (you can raise this number to a more standard 76 or so, but it
will make the compose screen go way too wide for Netscape browsers.)
