Maybe you could filter the reply through "fold -s" on its way to your editor, perhaps with a wrapper script around your editor. I use Vim and have 'linebreak' set for mail files so that they're readable without reformatting. When I send a reply I reformat any long lines with gq. I've been reading all these complaints about mutt's wrapping and people's wrapping but I just don't see the problem. I have "set wrap=80" in my muttrc. Lines that the author wraps and lines that mutt has to wrap all look fine to me. Regards, Gary
