Environment: cmd.exe within Windows 7 Beta 64bit. (should be quite similar to Vista & XP) And I did not redirect anything ... Just started a default cmd.exe, to paste it into the email I used "select" and "copy" from the system-menu of that window. (this "\l" is just my "ritual" after installing PostgreSQL, to see that PostgreSQL is installed and the installer accepted my wish for UTF-8) > We had a long argument about how this should work a while back so I suspect > people aren't psyched about reopening it, but while I don't think the current > logic is right I don't think wrapping to 80 columns when your terminal is > wider is one of the current broken cases.

It did not wrap at all, so that "randomly not wrapping at all" was my kind of failure, wasn't it?
