I think most mail readers are able to word-wrap raw text correctly (even though it still makes your messages look bad amongst a thread of nicely-formatted 80-column messages). The real annoyance is when reading Web archives of mailing-lists, e.g. http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2011-January/023346.html Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
