I'm a strong believer that format=flowed is a misguided attempt at solving a non-issue. If you take a look at the majority of emails from highly professional and well-known developers on LKML you'll see they don't use f=f and that's for a reason. It doesn't work well for just about anything, but messes with e.g. discussing patches. When does it really help? Very few people are using screens too narrow to display those standard 72-chars lines, and very few prefer reading lines longer than that anyway (apparently, it's hard to follow them), so the most natural and the least harmful way is to wrap them right after composing, just as all the traditional MUAs do. > I really find it impressive, that this problem was not solved on the > internet; it was on FidoNet (which was before the internet). I do not remember using f=f on FidoNet, was using GoldEd back then, but it was long time ago, so I might be wrong here. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
